Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their response to the Electoral Commission’s conclusion in its report <i>UK Parliamentary General Election 2015: Campaign spending report</i>, that "in principle, staff costs associated with regulated campaign spending should be included within the regulatory controls for all types of campaigners: candidates, political parties and non-party campaigners".

The Electoral Commission published its “UK Parliamentary General Election 2015: Campaign spending report” on 29 February 2016. The Government is considering the report and will respond in due course.
