Electoral Commission: Sam Younger Question 8

Dear Sam Younger

Is it not essential to proper oversight that all pieces of print produced are submitted with returns of expenses?

When we see all the pieces of print laid end to end, for example at the excellent by-elections resource, it does sometimes look like talk of snowstorms and mountains of paper are not exaggerated.

How do parties afford this - within the rules? Link is to Bromley by-election. Check Tory and Lib Dem leaflet haul.

Best wishes

Labour of Love
