Democratic Unionist Party: Finance

Question

To ask the Leader of the House, what the allocation of Short Money to the Democratic Unionist Party is.

Answer

I have been informed by the Clerk of the House as Accounting Officer that the Democratic Unionist Party does qualify for Short money as an opposition party under the terms of the Resolution of the House of 26 May 1999.

Following the General Election of 8 June 2017, the full year Short Money allocation for the Democratic Unionist Party is:

Main Budget: £222,305.00

Travel Budget: £4,925.14

There is no Ministerial responsibility for Short money, which comes under the auspices of the Members Estimate Committee, for which I act as spokesperson.
