Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration is being given to the level of deposits payable at (a) parliamentary general elections and (b) parliamentary by-elections.

I have been considering this matter as part of my general review of electoral law and procedures. I hope to make a statement about my conclusions before long.
