Constituencies

Volume 459: debated on Wednesday 2 May 2007

To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs if she will publish maps showing the precise new boundaries of parliamentary constituencies in England following the recent Boundary Commission report. (134488)

Volumes 3 and 4 of the Boundary Commission for England’s Fifth Periodical Report set out in some detail, on maps produced by Ordnance Survey, where the proposed new boundaries for parliamentary constituencies in England would lie.

The draft order to implement the new constituencies, which is currently before Parliament, mirrors in full the recommendations of the Boundary Commission for England.

We have no current plans to make more detailed constituency maps available. However, once the current draft order is made we will be exploring with the Boundary Commissions and Ordnance Survey the possibility of producing more detailed constituency maps.
