§ Mr. McManusasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) if the rule that a district electoral division shall not be interfered with by any Parliamentary boundary still obtains;
(2) if those areas of County Armagh, which the Commissioner proposed to include in the new district electoral division of Laghry or Killyman in County Tyrone, are to be treated as part of the Constituency of Fermanagh, South Tyrone.

§ Mr. David HowellThe rule that no district electoral division shall be included partly in one constituency and partly in another still stands. But this rule does not necessarily apply to the new district council wards. It is for the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland Parliamentary Boundary Commissions to carry out statutory reviews of all constituencies and make their recommendations; in doing so, they may take account of any local government boundary changes. At present, there has been no alteration in the area covered by the constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone.
