37(1)For the purposes of the referendum, the following section is to be treated as inserted after section 124 of the 2000 Act—U.K.
(1)Subsection (2) applies where, in relation to a referendum to which this Part applies—

(2)The responsible person must, within 3 months beginning with the end of the referendum period—
(a)make a declaration under this section, and
(b)deliver that declaration to the Commission.
(3)A declaration under this section is a declaration that no referendum expenses were incurred by or on behalf of the permitted participant during the referendum period.
(4)The responsible person commits an offence if, without reasonable excuse, that person fails to comply with the requirements of subsection (2).
(5)If a person who is the responsible person in relation to a permitted participant knowingly or recklessly makes a false declaration in purported compliance with the requirement in subsection (2)(a), that person commits an offence.
(6)A person guilty of an offence under subsection (4) is liable—
(a)on summary conviction in England and Wales, to a fine;
(b)on summary conviction in Scotland or Northern Ireland, to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale;
(c)on summary conviction in Gibraltar, to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the Gibraltar standard scale.

(e)on summary conviction in Gibraltar, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the Gibraltar standard scale, or to both.
(8)The reference in subsection (7)(b) to 12 months is to be read as a reference to 6 months in relation to an offence committed before the commencement of section 154(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
(9)In this section “the Gibraltar standard scale” means the standard scale set out in Part A of Schedule 9 to the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act.
(10)Schedule 19C (civil sanctions), and any order under Part 5 of that Schedule, have effect as if the offence under subsection (4) of this section were an offence prescribed in an order under that Part.
(11)In—
(a)section 113(3) (treatment of expenses incurred in contravention of section 113(1)), and
(b)section 118(4) and (5) (treatment of certain expenses incurred before referendum period or before becoming permitted participant),
the references to, respectively, sections 117 to 123 and sections 120 to 123 include references to this section.”
(2)Nothing in subsection (10) of the section treated as inserted by this paragraph (read with section 12 of this Act) is to be taken to mean that Schedule 19C to the 2000 Act extends or applies to Gibraltar for the purposes of the referendum.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
