Summary

The Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Act 2003 provides for the holding of regional and local referendums. The Act allows the Electoral Commission to pay counting officers for the charges and expenses they incur in connection with the referendums. Provision for the Electoral Commission to pay counting officers must be set out in an Order which must be passed by Parliament.

 

In January 2004 the Government issued a consultation paper that asked questions about the content of the Order. The consultation paper was issued alongside the draft Order.

 

Copies of the consultation paper were sent to all English local authorities and a range of bodies that have an interest in the issues. Responses were requested by 16 February 2004.

 

This report examines the responses received to the consultation paper.
