Article 7 Requests for charges in excess of maximum amounts

If a returning officer submits accounts under article 3 and requests payment for charges in excess of the maximum amounts, the returning officer must also submit to the Welsh Ministers—

Where the payment of charges in excess of the maximum amounts has been authorised, the returning officer must submit to the Welsh Ministers a complete account within the period of 4 months beginning with the day of the Senedd election to which the account relates.

In this article, “maximum amounts” means the maximum amounts in respect of each Senedd constituency, as set out in article 3 of, and column 4 of the table in the Schedule to, the Senedd Cymru (Returning Officers’ Charges) Order 2026^f1.
