The response position records the government's reply. It does not establish implementation.

Recommendation (the Committee's words)
Campaigning individuals and organisations other than political parties that wish to incur ‘referendum expenses’ of £25,000 or more, should register, like a political party, with the Election Commission. No individual or organisation not so registered may incur expenses in connection with a referendum in excess of £25,000. (p 171)
