R5-53

October 1998

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

Legislation governing national expenditure limits should include a schedule, analogous to our proposed revised Schedule 3 to the Representation of the People Act 1983, setting out a comprehensive list of items of relevant expenditure which should be declared by political parties at parliamentary elections. The contents of the schedule should be kept under review by the Election Commission.
