Election Expenses: 2011 (Wirral Borough Council) Claughton ward Candidate: Stephen Foulkes Agent: George Davies 2011

Here’s an index to the pages so far. From what I remember the rest are blank (other than whatever was on that part of the form) apart from a page number the agent had written on each page. The only “blank page” included is Page 5 – B (Unsolicited material to electors).

However Cllr George Davies’ numbering system is two ahead of mine as he includes the candidate and agent declaration as the first two pages.

It’s split into three sections, election expenses form (the standard one for local government elections in England and Wales issued by the Electoral Commission), accompanying invoices and donation letter.
