HC Deb 29 March 1979 vol 965 c283W
38. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of parliamentary constituencies in England remain to be reviewed by Boundary Commissions in the current review of parliamentary constituencies; when he expects this remaining work to be completed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John

The Parliamentary Boundary Commission for England has so far published provisional or revised recommendations for constituencies in six counties. This leaves about 90 per cent, of the 516 English constituencies to be reviewed. It seems likely that the Commission will complete its general review in 1981.
