HC Deb 16 March 1977 vol 928 c177W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive proposals from the Boundary Commission for the revision of parliamentary constituency boundaries in the counties of Northumberland and Tyne and Wear.

Mr. John

It seems likely that the provisional recommendations of the Parliamentary Boundary Commission for England for constituencies in Northumberland will be published later this year. It is not at present possible to estimate when the provisional recommendations for constituencies in Tyne and Wear will be published.
