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;
