Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to raise the spending limits for candidates standing for (1) local authority, (2) mayoral, and (3) Parliamentary, elections in the UK.
This question was answered on 11th February 2021
The Government uprated spending limits for candidates standing for local authority elections in England in December 2020.
As set out in the Written Ministerial Statements laid on 3 December 2020 from the Minister of State for the Constitution and Devolution, and Lord True, it is the Government’s intention to review party and candidate spending limits for all other polls (within the legislative competence of the UK Government) this year.
