Returning Officers will have six months from the day of the poll to submit their expense claims, and so the final cost will not be known until these have been received, scrutinised and settled. The actual cost of delivering candidates’ mailings will also not be known until all invoices from the universal service provider (Royal Mail) have been received and settled.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 28/06/2017 15:42:46 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
