Message from the Boundary Commission for England - The Guide to the 2018 Review of Parliamentary boundaries…
In February 2016, the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) announcedthe start of its review of the Parliamentary constituencies in England. The BCE is required to report to Parliament in September 2018. The BCE has now published the Guide for this review, which you can find on its website at the below link.
The Guide aims to explain:
- The policies that the Commission will work to in conducting the review within the statutory framework;
- The changes that were most recently made to the law governing Parliamentary constituency reviews by the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). The 2011 Act has a major impact on the way a review operates, and particularly the first review to be completed following that legislation is likely to result in some degree of change to a large number of existing constituencies; and
- The details of the process that the 2018 Review will follow including the number of public hearings that we will conduct around the country this autumn.
We hope you find the Guide informative and useful, but if you have any queries please contact my team on 020 7271 1102,
Yours sincerely,
Boundary Commission for England
