Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, how much Representative Money has been made available to elected Members who have not taken the Oath since it was introduced in 2006.

Under a resolution of the House, Representative Money is provided to opposition parties represented by Members who have chosen not to take the Oath.

The method of calculation for both Representative Money and Short Money is detailed in a comprehensive House of Commons Library briefing note on the subject: https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN01663

Budget allocations for Representative Money since 2005-6 are published in Appendix 4 of this document.

There has been a requirement to publish the amounts paid since 2016-17 onwards and these are set out on the Parliament website at the following link:
