Parliamentary Electorates (Hampshire)

HC Deb 23 June 1976 vol 913 cc542-3W

Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish in the Official Report the numbers of the electorate for each parliamentary constituency in the non-metropolitan county of Hampshire, specifying the number and per cent. by which each constituency exceeds, or falls short of, the provisional 1976 electoral quota of 65,753 electors for English constituencies.

Mr. John

The information is as follows:

whether he is now in a position to make a statement about the reinstatement of the inquiry into the Confait case by Sir Henry Fisher, QC; and on what date he expects the formal inquiry to begin.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

My right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General has nearly completed his study of the report of the police investigation into the death of Maxwell Confait. It is hoped that an announcement about the resumption of Sir Henry Fisher's inquiry will be made in the very near future.
