On the basis of the costs of previous referenda and taking into account present cost levels, I estimate that the cost of the Divorce Referendum will be of the order of £1 million.

No, I could not do that at this point. The Deputy asked the overall cost. That is all that I have. Basically it is a projection of past costs, using experience and intervening inflation.
