Thanks to Pippa Norris, The Electoral Commission and Charles Pattie** for the
aggregate data
**
A few seats were given incorrect information and set their campaign spending
against the wrong local legal maximum. The dataset contains a dummy
variable created by Charles Pattie which identifies the relevant seats as well
as two variables for the legal maximum spending limit: one giving the true
maximum and the other giving the erroneous legal maximum.

Note:
The Scottish constituency boundaries were re-drawn, the number reduced to 59
and names changed for the 2005 election. In the added aggregate data material
the constituencies are correctly identified as variable: seat05.
If
users wish to link survey data to Scottish constituencies they should use the
seat05 variable.
