The Home Office has agreed to provide an indemnity in respect of certain liabilities to which any Returning Officer may be subject, as a result of him or her carrying out his/ her duties as a Police Area Returning Officer or a Local Returning Officer in relation to the conduct of those election(s) for which he/she is responsible.
