(a)there shall be added together the number of London votes given for the party in the Assembly constituencies; and
(b)the number arrived at under paragraph (a) above shall then be divided by the aggregate of one and the number of candidates of the party returned as constituency members.
(2)For each individual candidate to be a London member there shall be added together the number of London votes given for that candidate in the Assembly constituencies.

(a)in the case of a registered political party, under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above, or
(b)in the case of an individual candidate, under sub-paragraph (2) above,
