asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Parliamentary Boundary Commission to report following the public inquiry held in Liverpool on 25 January relating to parliamentary constituency boundary redistribution within the city of Liverpool; and if he will make a statement.

I understand that the Boundary Commission for England hopes to complete its current general review by the end of 1982, and that it intends to submit the report containing its final recommendations for the whole of England, including the city of Liverpool, as soon as possible thereafter.
