(1)For a candidate at a ward election in the City the maximum amount of election expenses is [F1£266] together with an additional [F25.2p] for every elector (taken according to the enumeration of the ward list to be used at the election); but the provision made by section 76(6) above for increasing the maximum amount of election expenses in the event of a candidate’s death applies to the maximum amount under this subsection.

(3)The Secretary of State may by order vary a maximum amount of the candidate’s election expenses specified in subsection (1) or subsection (2) above where in his opinion there has been a change in the value of money since the last occasion on which that amount was [F6fixed (whether by such an order or otherwise)], and the variation shall be such as in his opinion is justified by that change.
[F7The power to make an order under this subsection is exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.]
