answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission informs me that its work on electoral registration is only part of its overall activities and responsibilities. The budget for the research used to inform the 2014 accuracy and completeness reports was £344,400 (including VAT). The Commission does not routinely record staff time spent on specific pieces of work and there is no estimate of this for the project.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It is therefore not possible to accurately determine what proportion of the Commission’s total budget, a significant element of which is staff costs, was spent on the reports.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Devon answering member printed Mr Gary Streeter question first answered 11/09/2014 14:18:44 answering member 234 label Biography information for Sir Gary Streeter

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Department recognises that the alternative cash offer is a new approach to compensating those who will be affected by the railway and we therefore do not have the evidence to estimate the number of people likely to take it up. We have instead modelled a range of possible take-up rates, up to 75%. In order to strengthen our understanding of the potential impact of this policy, we have commissioned an independent social research company to gather further evidence and we will also be able to draw upon responses from the current consultation.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/09/2014 13:59:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
