The Scottish Parliament (Elections etc.) Order 1999

Supply of labels

5.—(1) This paragraph applies only to a registration officer who is a data controller.

(2) In this paragraph, “relevant information” means the name and address of any elector whose name and address appear on the register, and such other information as appears on the register as the registration officer thinks fit, but not information constituting data to which paragraph 4(3) above applies.

(3) An application under this paragraph may request the registration officer to supply labels containing relevant information extracted from data to which paragraph 4 above applies in respect of part only of the area for which the registration officer is authorised by this paragraph to supply such labels and, if the registration officer supplies labels under this paragraph, he shall comply with such a request.

(4) The registration officer may on application to him and on payment of a fee at the rate of £12 for each thousand (or remaining part of one thousand) labels supplied, supply to a person, who is entitled to a free copy of the whole or part of the register under paragraph 2(1) or (6) above, labels containing relevant information extracted from so much of the data to which paragraph 4 above applies as relates to the part or parts of the register to which such a person is so entitled.

(5) The registration officer may on application to him and on payment of a fee at the rate of £12 for each thousand (or remaining part of one thousand) labels supplied, supply to a person, who is entitled to free copies of the whole or part of the register under paragraph 2(2) or (3) above, labels containing relevant information extracted from so much of the data to which paragraph 4 above applies as relates to the part or parts of the register to which such a person is so entitled.

(6) But–

(a) where the entitlement derives by virtue of paragraph 2(2)(a) or (3)(a)(i) above, not more than one person in respect of the same prospective candidature shall be so supplied; or

(b) where the entitlement derives by virtue of paragraph 2(3)(a)(ii) above, not more than one person in respect of the same regional list shall be so supplied, and, following such supply, the right may not be exercised again with respect to any other prospective candidate for inclusion in that regional list.

(7) The registration officer may, on application to him and on payment of a fee at the rate of £25 for each thousand (or remaining part of one thousand) labels supplied, supply labels containing relevant information extracted from data to which paragraph 4 above applies to a person other than a person to whom sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) above apply.
