§ Mr. Allan StewartTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the Boundary Commission for Scotland intends to conduct any further interim review of parliamentary constituencies; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RifkindThe Boundary Commission for Scotland has informed me that it intends to conduct interim reviews of seven parliamentary constituencies under section 3 of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986. The constituencies are as follows:
- Angus East, and Kincardine and Deeside:
- Clackmannan, Dunfermline West, and Perth and Kinross;
- Clydebank and Milngavie, and Glasgow Garscadden.
I understand that the reviews have arisen from alterations to local authority boundaries which those of the parliamentary constituencies concerned no longer follow exactly.
