FUNDING OF SINN FEIN

Early day motion 196, tabled 9 December 2008 by Eddie McGrady (Social Democratic and Labour Party). Signed by 5 members.

That this House calls for a review of current funding arrangements under which Sinn Fein can use parliamentary funds calculated on the same terms as Short money for expenditure on press, publicity and other representative functions including constituency party promotion which is in fact party constituency work, a facility which is not allowed to other parties represented in the House.

Signatures by party: Conservative 2, DUP 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
