FEES FOR MARKED ELECTORAL REGISTERS

That this House notes that the effect of Regulation 120 in respect of Fees Re Marked Registers and Lists has effectively been to increase the cost of purchase of a marked register from £10 to in the region of £50 to £60 per ward; and asks the Government to discuss with the Association of Electoral Administrators what effect this charge has had on local democracy and what scope there might be for its reconsideration.
