This return must include details about every loan you have entered into. You need to provide information such as the lender's name and address, the loan amount, and the repayment date. You also need to give details about the interest rate, any unpaid balance, and if there is a guarantor or security for the loan. Your return must be in the form required by the Electoral Commission.
