Commentary on Sections Further provisions about referendums held in pursuance of sections 2, 3 or 6 Section 12: Separate questions
107.Section 12 provides that if a referendum is to be held under Part 1 of the Act in relation to two or more treaties or decisions, a separate question must be framed for each treaty or decision requiring a referendum pursuant to sections 2, 3 or 6 of this Act. This could be two or more questions on one ballot paper, or more than one ballot paper; the details would need to be set out in the Act of Parliament required by sections 2, 3 or 6. It will not therefore be possible for decisions to be combined into the same question on the ballot paper.
