(10) Subject to sub-paragraph (11) below, where sub-paragraph (9) applies, whatever amount of the allowance is used for establishing and running an office shall be used to enable the regional members concerned: (a) to run only one office in a particular region; and (b) to meet constituents on a one-to-one basis or as a group; and accordingly some or all of the regional members concerned may pool all or part of their allowances under this paragraph in order to run such an office provided the members concerned give written notice to the SPCB. (11) Where sub-paragraph (9) applies in relation to a region mentioned in Section C of Annex C (Eligibility for exceptional needs allowance: The largest regions), the SPCB: (a) may determine after inquiry that the regional members concerned may run one additional office because that is necessary for the regional members concerned to carry out their Parliamentary duties effectively; and (b) in those circumstances may increase the amount of this allowance to which each of the regional members concerned is entitled by such a sum as the SPCB may determine but the total of such increases shall not exceed 100% of the notional amount of £12,000 referred to in sub-paragraph (9) above, and under no circumstances shall any increase under this provision result in the maximum Members' Support Allowance specified in sub-paragraph (1) above being exceeded. (12) Where the SPCB has made a determination under sub-paragraph (11) the regional members concerned may pool their allowances under this paragraph with any other member or members for that region provided that all members concerned first notify the SPCB. (13) A constituency member may locate his or her Parliamentary office base in a constituency other than the one from which the member was returned provided that the location has prior approval of the member returned from that other constituency and the SPCB is notified immediately. (14) An amount of £12,000 for each constituency member and the amount computed in accordance with sub-paragraph (9) above for regional members per financial year for the establishment and running of an office are notional but the actual amount to be spent shall be for each member to determine subject to the limit of his or her Members' Support Allowance. (15) Where local office costs are higher than in other parts of Scotland due to the state of the local economy, a member may refer the matter to the SPCB for its determination as to whether the member should be eligible for an allowance greater than the maximum Members' Support Allowance mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) but any increase shall be not greater than 10% of the notional amount of £12,000 per financial year. (16) The rates applicable to travelling and overnight expenses referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(d) and (f) above shall not exceed those specified in paragraphs 3 and 6 below.
