The Government remains committed to addressing the unfairness of current Parliamentary boundaries by making votes of more equal value. Changing the base data for the review now would risk the work of the Boundary Commissions not being implemented for the next election, meaning that the next general election would be fought on the basis of registers that are up to 20 years old.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 11/07/2016 16:01:30 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
