HC Deb 18 June 1974 vol 875 c112W
Mr. Bates

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the next report of the Parliamentary Boundary Commission; and whether, in view of local government reorganisation, he will call for a report earlier than is usual.

Dr. Summerskill

In 1979, which is the earliest statutory date; one earlier report would largely preclude the Boundary Commissions' reports from taking into account the outcome of the initial reviews of district and county electoral arrangements by the Local Government Boundary Commissions.
