19(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph and to section 69(3) of this Act, all expenses properly incurred by a returning officer in relation to the holding of an election of London borough councillors shall, in so far as, in cases where the scale fixed for the purposes of this sub-paragraph is applicable, they do not exceed that scale, be paid by the London borough council.
(2)Subject to sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph and to the said section 69(3), all expenses properly incurred by a returning officer in relation to the holding of an election of a councillor of the Greater London Council shall, in so far as, in cases where the scale fixed for the purposes of this sub-paragraph is applicable, they do not exceed that scale, be paid by the Greater London Council.
(3)The power to fix a scale for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) or (2) of this paragraph shall be exercisable—
(a)if the scale relates to elections held before 1st April 1965, by the Secretary of State;
(b)if the scale relates to elections held on or after that date, by the Greater London Council.
(4)Where the polls at an election of London borough councillors and of a councillor of the Greater London Council are taken together, the expenses properly incurred by the returning officers in relation to the holding of the elections shall be payable by the Greater London Council and the borough council in such proportions as may be determined under sub-paragraph (5) of this paragraph :
Provided that where one of those elections is an election of a councilor of the Greater London Council for an electoral area which includes the city and the Temples, so much of the expenses of the returning officer at that election as is attributable to things done in or in relation to the City and the Temples shall be left out of account for the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this sub-paragraph and accordingly (so far as properly incurred) shall be payable by the Greater London Council alone.
(5)The amount of any expenses payable under sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph by the Greater London Council and a borough council and the proportion payable by each of the councils shall be taken to be such as may be agreed between them or as may, in default of agreement, be determined by the Secretary of State.
(6)Before a poll is taken at an election of a London borough councillor or councillor of the Greater London Council, the authority whose clerk is returning officer shall, at the request of the returning officer or any person acting as returning officer, advance to him such reasonable sum in respect of his expenses at the election as he may require.
