HC Deb 15 December 1981 vol 15 c110W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland by what date he expects orders to be laid before Parliament implementing the proposals on parliamentary seats of the Boundary Commission for Scotland.

Mr. Rifkind

As soon as is practicable after the report of the Boundary Commission for Scotland is received, my right hon. Friend will lay it before Parliament, with an order giving effect to it. I understand that the commission expects to complete its final report by the end of 1982.
