HC Deb 28 April 1988 vol 132 c236W
Mr. Allan Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the Boundary Commission for Scotland intends to conduct any further interim review of parliamentary constituencies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

The Boundary Commission for Scotland has informed me that it intends to conduct interim reviews of seven parliamentary constituencies under section 3 of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986. The constituencies are as follows:

  • Angus East, and Kincardine and Deeside:
  • Clackmannan, Dunfermline West, and Perth and Kinross;
  • Clydebank and Milngavie, and Glasgow Garscadden.

I understand that the reviews have arisen from alterations to local authority boundaries which those of the parliamentary constituencies concerned no longer follow exactly.
