The consent of the Treasury is required by section 29(9) of the Representation of the People Act 1983.

M2

1983 c. 2. Section 29 was amended by paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 6 to the Representation of the People Act 2000 (c. 2), section 68 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (c. 22) and section 18(1) of the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 (c. 6). Paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 21 to the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (c. 41), as amended by paragraphs 104 and 107 of Schedule 1 to the Electoral Administration Act 2006, substituted subsections (3) to (4C) but these substitutions are not yet in force.

M3

The Transfer of Functions (Returning Officers' Charges) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1728) transferred the functions formerly conferred on the Treasury by section 29 to the Secretary of State and made consequential amendments. These functions were made exercisable concurrently by the Lord President of the Council and the Secretary of State by the Lord President of the Council Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/1837). The Lord President of the Council's functions were transferred to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/1376); and were subsequently transferred to the Minister for the Cabinet Office by the Transfer of Functions (Elections, Referendums, Third Sector and Information) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/997).

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order provides for payments for services and expenses of returning officers in connection with the conduct of parliamentary elections in England, Wales and Scotland. It replaces the Parliamentary Elections (Returning Officers' Charges) (No. 2) Order 2017 (S.I. 2017/671).

Under section 29(3) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 (c. 2) a returning officer may recover their charges for services and expenses, provided (first) they were necessarily rendered or incurred for the efficient and effective conduct of the parliamentary election and (secondly) the total does not exceed the ‘overall maximum recoverable amount’. Section 29(3A) of the 1983 Act enables the Minister to specify the latter by order.

Articles 3(1), 4(1) and 5 and the table in the Schedule to this Order specify the maximum amounts recoverable by returning officers when a parliamentary election is a standalone poll. On the day of the 2019 parliamentary general election no other elections will be taking place.

The table in the Schedule lists by constituency the maximum recoverable amount for specified services (column 2), the maximum recoverable amount for specified expenses (column 3) and the overall maximum recoverable amount (column 4).

In the case of an uncontested parliamentary election, article 6 provides that articles 3 to 5 do not apply. Instead the overall maximum recoverable amount is £1,750 for each constituency.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
