HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 cc113-4W
Mr. Peter' Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will announce the date when the Parliamentary Boundary Commission will be able to report; and what opportunities will be afforded to interested parties to make due representation to the Commission before the issue of their final recommendations.

Mr. Ede

I understand that the Commissions are likely to submit their reports towards the end of this year. As regards the second part of the Question, where a Commission have provisionally determined to make recommendations affecting any constituency they will, as required by the House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act, 1944, publish in the con- stituency a notice stating the effect of the Proposed recommendations, and will take into consideration any representations about them.
