HC Deb 19 June 1969 vol 785 c674
11. Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he now expects to make the orders to put into effect the recommendations of each of the Boundaries Commissions, respectively.

46. Mr. Boston

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to take action on the Report of the Parliamentary Boundaries Commission.

Mr. Callaghan

I will put my conclusions before the House later this afternoon, Mr. Speaker, if I catch your eye.

Mr. Ridley

Since the Prime Minister has received a report that the implementation of the Boundary Commissions' proposals would benefit him electorally, why does he not run true to form and implement them straight away without further ado?

Mr. Callaghan

I am sorry that in this matter the hon. Member's eye is constantly on party advantage. It should not be.
