To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total number of eligible electors on the register, resident in other EU Member States, for the May 2015 General Election; and what proportion of them voted.
The Government does not hold central records of the total number of eligible electors on the register who reside outside of the UK, where overseas they reside, and the proportion of them who voted.
The Electoral Commission has produced reports into the administration of the 2017 and 2015 General Election and the 2016 EU referendum. The reports contain information on the number of overseas electors but does not state where they reside. The reports can be found here: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/our-work/publications/election-and-referendum-reports

The Electoral Commission collected data from Returning Officers for all UK constituencies following the UK Parliamentary General Election on 7 May 2015. The data shows that an estimated 12,803 people tried to vote on polling day and were unregistered.
This number is based on data from 418 constituencies, as not all Returning Officers provided data and of those that did, some of the data provided was approximate. Figures for each constituency are available on the Electoral Commission’s website at http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/excel_doc/0011/191648/UKPGE-turnout-postal-rejected-admin-amended-WEB.xlsx

It would be helpful if the Prime Minister confirmed that that list will be publicly available and not just accessible for the police. Seeing as how he is prepared to lecture other countries on corruption and probity, will he explain why seven police forces in the UK have launched criminal investigations into Conservative
MPs for potential electoral fraud? That is very serious, so how is it that a Conservative police and crime commissioner can serve in such a role while being under police investigation?

First, let us be clear about this anti-corruption summit. Nobody is lecturing anybody. One of the reasons this issue does not get addressed is that countries and politicians are too worried about addressing it knowing that no country is perfect—nor, indeed, is any politician. But I think it is right for Britain to take this lead, not least because we meet our 0.7% contribution on aid. I think we are entitled to raise this incredibly important issue. As to what the right hon. Gentleman says about the Electoral Commission, the whole point is that in this country the Electoral Commission is independent. When it comes to operational decisions by police forces, they are independent too. Long may that be the case: that is the hallmark of an incorrupt country.

I simply repeat my earlier point: when allegations are made, there are proper authorities to investigate them.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the cost of the deliveries of election material by the Royal Mail for all prospective parliamentary candidates across the UK in the 2015 General Election, and how the delivery charges were calculated.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the cost of the deliveries of election material by the Royal Mail for all prospective parliamentary candidates across the UK in the 2015 General Election, and how the delivery charges were calculated.
The total cost to the public purse of elections held nationally comprises two main elements: the costs incurred by Returning Officers in running the poll; and the cost of delivering election mailings produced by candidates. Returning Officers have submitted their expenses claims for running the 2015 UK Parliamentary election and the 2014 European Parliamentary election, and these are subject to scrutiny before being settled. This process is underway, and the final and exact cost of each election will not be known until all of the claims have been paid
The amount initially drawn down from the Consolidated Fund for the conduct of the 2015 UK Parliamentary election was £81.4M. While the final cost will differ from this figure, depending on the actual level of Returning Officers’ expenses, it provides an indication of the cost of running the poll. The total cost of delivering election mailings for the candidates who stood at the 2015 UK Parliamentary election was £41.7M.
Expenditure on delivering poll cards is one of the costs incurred by Returning Officers in running the election. It is therefore subject to the aforementioned scrutiny of Returning Officers’ expenses claims, and is not yet known
The amount initially drawn down from the Consolidated Fund for the conduct of the 2014 European Parliamentary election was £69.0M. While the final cost will differ from this figure, depending on the actual level of Returning Officers’ expenses, it provides an indication of the cost of running the poll. The total cost of delivering election mailings for the candidates and parties who stood at the 2014 European Parliamentary election was £40.6M.
The Government is not aware of any particular additional security costs associated with the UK Parliamentary election in May 2015.
