The research was conducted in accordance with the requirements of guidance on the work of the Government Communication Network, produced by the Cabinet Office.

As part of their role in the information campaign, Ministers in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister were aware of the results of the NOP World research. The results of the NOP World research were not made available by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to any campaign organisation, but were made available in the Library of the House on 21 February 2005. The Electoral Commission were aware that research was undertaken on the effect of the information campaign in raising awareness of the referendums. The cost of the research undertaken by NOP World research totalled £76,100 Other research conducted by NOP Research Group Ltd. for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister since June 2003 is: 1. "Key public sector workers: exploring recruitment and retention issues and their housing preferences" (for the Analytical Services Research Programme). 2. "Survey of Small Businesses and Rate Relief" (for the ODPM Local and Regional Government Research Programme).
