Recommendation (the Committee's words)
On the assumption that a national spending limit is in place for the next general election, the limit for parties that contest more than 600 seats at that election should be set at £20 million. That limit should then be index-linked. It should not be varied in future except on the recommendation of the Election Commission. (p 124)
