HC Deb 20 May 2003 vol 405 cc660-1W
Mr. Rosindell

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what recent discussions she has held with the Boundary Commission for Scotland regarding the review of Scottish constituency boundaries; if she will make a statement on progress of the review; and when she expects the recommendations of the review to be implemented. [113484]

Mrs. Liddell

The Commission is wholly independent and I have had no discussions on its review of the Scottish constituencies.

The Commission must report to me by December 2006, and it is entirely a matter for the Commission when, within that timescale, it does so.
