HC Deb 10 November 1978 vol 957 cc366-7W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of his inability to publish Boundary Commission proposals for the European elections through Her Majesty's Stationery Office, he will make immediate alternative arrangements for copies of those proposals to be made available to political parties, Members of Parliament and the press.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

As I said in reply to the hon. Member's earlier Question— [Vol. 957, c. 44–51—Orders in Council will be laid before Parliament as soon as practicable. I am considering alternative means of meeting the statutory requirements for this purpose.
