§ Ian LucasTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if she will publish the returns of election expenses for the 1999 elections to the Scottish Parliament. [45294]
§ Mrs. LiddellI have no plans to publish these returns. As required under the Scottish Parliament (Elections etc) Order 1999, the returns of election expenses for the elections to the Scottish Parliament in 1999 were made available for inspection for two years following their receipt. Notices giving details of the times and places at which returns could be inspected were also published as required.
