HC Deb 15 February 1979 vol 962 c589W
Mr.Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Boundary Commission to report and publish its proposed parliamentary boundaries for the London borough of Haringey; and if he will set out its timetable for the submission of objections and appeal.

Mr.John

I understand that the Parliamentary Boundary Commission for England is likely to publish its provisional recommendations for constituencies in Greater London, including Haringey, later this year. Representations may be made to the Commission during a statutory period of one month from the date of publication. If an interested local authority or a body of 100 or more electors objects to its proposals, the Commission is required to hold a local inquiry. If the Commission subsequently decides to revise its recommendations, its new proposals must be published and representations submitted within one month. The Commission need not hold a further local inquiry, but may do so at its discretion.
