§ MR. TOULMIN (Bury, Lancashire)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will present a Return of the Parliamentary constituencies of the United Kingdom, showing the whole of the constituencies arranged in counties, each borough being placed next in order to the county or division of a county in which it is included; showing the population and Members of each constituency and of each county, including together borough and county division, or each section of a county where a county has been treated as more than one unit, as in North and North-East Lancashire and the Ridings of Yorkshire, and indicating by appropriate marks or type those con- 856 stituencies affected, and how, by the Redistribution Resolutions of the Government; and, also, a complete list of the individual constituencies of the United Kingdom, with the population of each, arranged in order of number of the population, indicating by an appropriate sign or special type each constituency where the number of Members is reduced, or, in the case of counties, where the constituency is part of a county the number of Members of which is reduced by the Government proposals, and also by another appropriate sign or type where the number of Members is increased.
(Answered by Mr. Gerald Balfour.) I propose to lay on the Table a statement which will in substance include the particulars to which the hon. Member refers in the earlier part of the Question. As regards the latter part, viz., that which relates to a complete list of individual constituencies, if the hon. Member thinks fit to move for this as a Return the matter will receive consideration.
