§ Mr. Dormandasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he is likely to receive the remaining reports of the Parliamentary Boundary Commissions for England and Wales on their general reviews of parliamentary constituencies; and when he expects present Government proposals for the reorganisation of the constituencies.
§ Mr. MayhewI understand that the Boundary Commission for England is likely to complete its task of reviewing all parliamentary constituencies in 1982. The Boundary Commission for Wales has not yet begun its general review, but seems likely to complete it in plenty of time for the next general election. My right hon. Friend will submit the report of each commission to Parliament as soon as practicable after he has received it.
