HC Deb 02 July 1969 vol 786 cc571-2

Queen's Recommendation having been signified—

Resolved, That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to enable the alteration of Parliamentary constituencies under the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Acts 1949 and 1958 to be suspended until the submission of the next general reports of the Boundary Commissions, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament, if by virtue of that Act effect is not given to a Boundary Commission's report made in the year 1969, of any such addition to their expenses as may be attributable—

  1. (a) to any provision advancing the time when they are to make their next general report; or
  2. (b) to any provision requiring them to make further recommendations for the division of constituencies now having abnormally large electorates.—[Mr. Merlyn Rees.]
