Commentary on Sections Part 1 Electoral Administration and Registration Chapter 5: Campaign Finance Section 37 – Third parties capable of giving notifications
105.Section 37 inserts section 88(11) and (12) into PPERA, to allow the Welsh Ministers to amend the list in section 88(2) of third parties who can incur controlled expenditure during a Welsh devolved regulated period. Third parties can be added to or removed from the list, or the list can be varied, but removals or variations can only be effected on the recommendation of the Electoral Commission. The effect of section 37(3) is that any orders made by the Welsh Ministers under section 88(11) of PPERA will be subject to the Senedd’s affirmative resolution procedure.
