Written Question
Constituencies
Thursday 9th January 2020

Asked by: Jonathan Edwards (Independent - Carmarthen East and Dinefwr)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he has taken in response to the Boundary Commission for England's 2018 recommendations on parliamentary constituency boundaries.

Answered by Chloe Smith

The final reports of the four Boundary Commissions in the 2018 Boundary Review were submitted to the Government and laid before Parliament in September 2018.

The Government will continue to monitor closely the current legal proceedings in relation to the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland’s final report.

As we set out in our manifesto, the Government will ensure we have updated and equal parliamentary boundaries, making sure every vote counts the same.

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill

"It has been obvious to me for some considerable time that Brexiteer politicians have never fully understood the consequences of their policies. That is why during the referendum they were able to claim that they wanted to end free movement while staying in the single market; why they said that …..."

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill

"The Chair of the International Trade Committee speaks with great experience. That is, of course, why the British Government are refusing to publish the impact assessments on the deal.
