Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, whether hon. Members elected for Sinn Fein receive any monies in funding analogous to Short Money provision to the Democratic Unionist Party.

Short Money is not available to parties whose Members have not sworn the oath. Instead, Representative Money is available to those parties so that they may carry out their representative duties.

Further information about Representative Money is available at http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN01663/SN01663.pdf.
