answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2021 answer text <p>As I announced in my <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2020-12-03/hcws618" target="_blank">written ministerial statement</a> on 3 December 2020, it is the Government’s intention to review party and candidate spending limits for all polls within the legislative competence of the UK Government, other than local council elections in England which were uprated last year, with a view to uprating them in line with inflation since they were originally set. This will create a baseline for regular and consistent reviews of all limits in future.</p><p> </p><p>In some cases, there has been a significant gap since the last time spending limits were raised - some, including those for political parties at UK parliamentary elections, haven’t changed since 2000. This impacts campaigning ability given inflationary costs of printing and communication, which is vital for parties and candidates to communicate their views with voters. Election spending limits are fixed in absolute terms. By updating for inflation, the limits remain in line with the original intent of Parliament when they were introduced.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 09/09/2021 16:49:30 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
