Cranborne Money is the common name given to the annual payment to opposition parties in the UK House of Lords to help them with their costs. It is named after Lord Cranborne, who was the leader of the House of Lords when it was introduced on 27 November 1996. Short Money is its counterpart in the House of Commons.
