§ SUPPLEMENTARY
§ Mr. CarlisleI beg to move Amendment No. 756, in page 51, line 6, after 'shall', insert
'so far as is reasonably practicable'.With this I understand that we are to take all the remaining Government Amendments to No. 767.The purpose of these Amendments is merely that the wording of the order resulting from Schedule 11 would require those considering electoral arrangements for local government areas to comply so far as reasonably practicable with the rules of Schedule 11 and in doing so to take account of any change in the number or distribution of local government electors for an area in the next five years before proceeding to the other considerations of nearly equal electorate in each electoral area within the county, borough or district and the observance of local government boundaries. These will be the primary considerations, but in addition, although subject to those primary rules, the Commissions and other concerned will also have regard to the desirability of fixing easily identifiable boundaries, to local ties and, in counties, to district ward boundaries.
§ Amendment agreed to.
