Electoral commission announces CBI registration is void
Commenting on the Electoral Commission’s announcement that it has declared the CBI’s application to register under the Scottish Referendum Act 2013 void, the CBI said:
“Following clear legal advice, an application to register under the terms of the Scottish Referendum Act 2013 has been declared void by the Electoral Commission as it was not signed by an authorised signatory.
“The CBI is a politically independent and impartial body and will ensure that it complies with Electoral Commission guidance to safeguard its political independence.
“As businesses work hard to secure the economic recovery, the CBI has a job to do on behalf of its members and their employees to help create the right conditions for UK companies to grow and prosper, wherever they operate across the world. We will continue to do that without fear or favour.”
