Article 60 Constituency and individual candidates: inspection of returns and declarations
Where the appropriate officer receives any return or declaration under article 44, 50 or 51 he shall —
as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the return or declaration make a copy of it, and any accompanying documents, available for public inspection at his office, or some other convenient place chosen by him, for a period of two years beginning with the date when the return is received by him;
if requested to do so by any person, and on payment of the fee specified in paragraph (4), supply that person with a copy of the return or declaration and any accompanying documents.
If any such return contains a statement of donations in accordance with article 50(3)(f) above, the appropriate officer shall secure that the copy of the statement made available for public inspection under sub-paragraph (1)(a) above or (as the case may be) supplied under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above does not include, in the case of any donation by an individual, the donor’s address.
The fee for inspecting a return or declaration (including any accompanying documents) referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) shall be £1.50.
The fee payable for a copy of any such return, declaration or document referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) shall be at the rate of 15p for each side of each page.
After the expiry of those two years the appropriate returning officer —
may cause those returns and declarations (including the accompanying documents) to be destroyed, or
if the candidate or his election agent so require, shall return them to the candidate.
Any returns or declarations delivered under article 44 shall be returned not to a candidate (if he or his election agent so require) but to the person delivering them if he so requires.
The Assembly may by order made by statutory instrument vary the amount of any fee payable under paragraph (3) or (4).
