§ Mr. BrittanThe Parliamentary Boundary Commission for Wales has not yet begun its general review of parliamentary constituencies, although we hope that it will be in a position to do so shortly. The Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales has not yet submitted to me any reports proposing new electoral arrangements for districts or counties. There is, however, no requirement for the reports of that commission to be laid before Parliament.
