The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what the estimated cost will be to it of conducting a referendum under the provisions of the draft Referendum (Scotland) Bill and whether it will itemise this expenditure.
The answer
The 1997 devolution referendum would cost around £6.5 million in 2007 prices. As the provisions of the draft Referendum (Scotland) Bill are similar, the cost is likely also to be similar.
