(asked on 8th July 2015) - View Source
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what his policy is on the number of Scottish constituencies in the UK Parliament; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 14th July 2015
The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011 provides for the number of constituencies within the United Kingdom to be reduced from 650 to 600 and the Government remains committed to equalising the size of constituencies in order to make votes of more equal value. The Government will outline its plans for constituency boundaries, including those of Scottish constituencies, in due course.
