HC Deb 25 April 1983 vol 41 c212W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he understands that the Boundary Commission for England intends to begin its review of European Parliament constituencies in England.

Mr. Whitelaw

The commission has informed me that it intends to begin its review of European Parliament constituencies in England now that the Order in Council implementing the recommendations in its third periodical report has been made. The commission sees no prospect of completing its review in time for its recommendations to be implemented at the 1984 elections.
