Recommendation (the Committee's words)
The political parties in the House of Commons should review the allocation of Short money to ensure that the Official Opposition’s allocation is fixed and does not depend on the outcome of the previous general election and also to ensure that the allocation of Short money to all opposition parties is sufficient to enable them to perform their functions adequately.
