LinkedInBroadcasting allocation decision 2011
Final variation to the decision of the Electoral Commission on the allocation of time and money to eligible political parties for the broadcasting of election programmes for the 2011 General Election
The amount of money allocated to the parties is to be in the same proportion as the money allocated to the categories of parties set out in the 31 May 2011 decision.
It is not considered practicable to re-allocate the time available for closing addresses between the parties in the same proportion as set out in the 31 May 2011 decision. The Commission has therefore decided to re-allocate the four minutes equally between the eight parties that received the least amount of time in the 31 May 2011 decision.
