"There has been much discussion in and around the Parliament about the proposed scheme of financial assistance for registered political parties in the Parliament. These proposals are set out in a draft Order currently before the Westminster Parliament, which requires approval by that Parliament but no formal procedure in the Scottish Parliament. Controversy has arisen in particular in relation to the level of assistance proposed, especially in comparison with that available in the House of Commons under the so called ‘Short money’ scheme, and the entitlement to assistance, under the proposed qualification rules, of the Liberal Democrats, even though they are a partner in the coalition government. This Paper is intended to be read with the companion Paper on MSPs’ allowances, Research Paper 99/3, Allowances for MSPs, 7 June 1999."
