Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals on the recommendations of the boundary review.

The Government is working on the Order in Council to implement the recommendations in the final reports of the four Boundary Commissions.

The High Court of Northern Ireland has now issued its judgment in relation to the judicial review against the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland’s final proposals. The period within which an appeal may be made by either party has not yet expired. The Government will consider the outcome of these proceedings in deciding the timetable for laying the draft Order in Council before Parliament in due course, where it will be debated and there will be a vote in both Houses in the usual way.
