In accordance with section 10(2) of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), as saved by section 24(1) of the Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Act 2024 (asc 4), a by-election will be held to fill this constituency vacancy on 23 October 2025.\nThis Order contains the maximum amounts the returning officer may recover for services rendered and expenses incurred for, or in connection with, the conduct of that by-election.\nArticles 3, 4 and 5 of this Order specify the maximum amounts for services rendered and expenses incurred for, or in connection with, the by-election if the by-election is contested. The amount recoverable for services rendered is concerned with electoral administration and the discharge of duties relating to the by-election by the returning officer and electoral administrators.\nArticle 6 specifies the maximum amount if the by-election is uncontested.\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.",
