Clause 22 - Payments to Electoral Commission
Regional Assemblies (Preparations) Bill
6:15 pm

Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
We had the beginning of a brief debate this morning on what is paid to the commission, which did not reach its natural conclusion—it will do so under clause 23. I should be grateful, however, if the Minister could tell us what discussions he has had with the commission about the amounts that will be required to carry out the reviews in the different regions. What is the range of sums?
