Ernle David Drummond Money (born 17 February 1931)[1] is a retired Conservative Party politician and barrister in England.
He was educated at Marlborough College and Oriel College, Oxford. He served in the Suffolk Regiment from 1949-51. He was called to the Bar in 1958.
Money was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Ipswich in 1970 by only 13 votes, defeating Labour candidate Sir Dingle Foot (brother of the sometime Labour leader Michael Foot) and was reelected in the first General Election of 1974, although he subsequently lost the seat in the October election of that year to Labour's Kenneth Weetch. Money has not since been elected an MP.
Money retired to Eastbourne in the 1990s. In 2010 he was reported in local press urging voters not to re-elect Eastbourne's Conservative MP Nigel Waterson but instead to vote for his LibDem opponent Stephen Lloyd. Money resides in both Eastbourne and Malta.
