They increase the maximum amount of a candidate’s election expenses at a European Parliamentary election. The maximum amount of a candidate’s election expenses is made up of a fixed sum (expressed in pounds) plus a sum expressed in pence (and fractions of pence) for each entry in the register of electors.\nThese Regulations also increase from £750 to £1,000 the sum which must be deposited with the returning officer by or on behalf of a candidate at a European Parliamentary election. A person cannot be validly nominated as a candidate at such an election unless this deposit has been made.",
