<p>It is not possible to provide a reliable estimate of the total cost of the sitting
of the House on Saturday 19 October at this stage. The costs incurred will relate
to additional staff costs and claims that Members may submit in relation to their
attendance on that date. Such claims can be submitted up to the end of November and
once the figures are available an update will be provided. Other directly attributable
costs will be disclosed if available. However, for some general running costs, for
example heating and lighting etc., it will not be possible to attribute those to a
specific date.</p>
