HC Deb 05 May 1983 vol 42 c135W
Mr. Ancram

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he understands the Boundary Commission for Scotland intends to begin its review of European Parliament constituencies in Scotland.

Mr. George Younger

The Boundary Commission for Scotland has informed me that, following the making of the Order in Council implementing the recommendations in its third periodical report, it intends to begin forthwith a general review of the eight European Parliament constituencies in Scotland.

The commission is unable to forecast at this stage how long the review is likely to last.
