Mr. John McCarthy:
The responsibility for the local elections rests with the local authorities. We expect them to make the arrangements as efficiently as possible. We do not collect information in respect of the quantum of local authority staff that might have been working on the local elections. For national and European elections etc. the rates of pay are probably regulated under the charging order.
