# The National Assembly for Wales (Representation of the People) Order 2003, Article 52: Party list candidates: declarations as to election expenses


(1) At the same time as the treasurer of a registered political party delivers a return under section 80 of the 2000 Political Parties Act, or within 7 days thereafter, each candidate on a regional list submitted by that registered party shall deliver to the Assembly a declaration
made by that candidate in the form set out in English and Welsh in Schedule 7.
(2) Where any such candidate is out of the United Kingdom when the return is so delivered —
(a) the declaration required by paragraph (1) above may be made by him within 14 days after his return to the United Kingdom; and
(b) in that case, the declaration shall forthwith be delivered to the Assembly,
but the delay authorised by this article in making the declaration shall not exonerate the treasurer of the registered party from complying with the provisions of the 2000 Political Parties Act relating to the return of party expenditure.
(3) If a person knowingly makes the declaration required by this article falsely, he shall be guilty of a corrupt practice.
