Click here for : 2013 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies

In February 2011, Parliament passed The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011 requiring all four Boundary Commissions covering the UK to review Parliamentary constituency boundaries and report to Government by October 2013. The outcome of the reviews will form the basis for the 2015 Parliamentary boundaries.

The objective of the legislation is to create constituencies where the elected MP’s represent between 72,810 and 80,473 electors. This will effectively reduce the number of MP’s across the UK from 650 to 600. In England this will result in a reduction from 533 to 502 MP’s.

The Boundary Commission for England are therefore seeking views on the proposals and anyone wishing to make representation should do so in writing to;

The Boundary Commission for England,
33 Great Smith Street,
London,
SW1P 3BQ
