§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total cost incurred by returning officers and counting officers at the referendum.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe exact cost is not yet known because many accounts have still to be submitted, but we have no reason to believe that the cost will differ significantly from the previous estimate of £5 million. This figure excludes costs incurred by the Post Office in connection with postal votes and the delivery of poll cards.
