As reflected in the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), the additional c.£200m will increase Government’s capacity to prevent threats and build stability, as well as respond to crises more quickly and effectively. The CSSF will have more resources and expertise to address the drivers of transnational threats to stability such as extremism, illegal migration and serious and organised crime.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 06/12/2016 09:56:01 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2016 answer text <p>Following laws passed by Parliament, the independent and impartial Boundary Commissions are currently consulting on their proposals to deliver the Boundary Review, and their final proposals will be shared with Parliament in autumn 2018. These reforms will ensure fair and equal representation for the voting public across the United Kingdom by the next general election, and also delivers on the Government’s manifesto pledge to reduce the size of the Commons which will save an estimated £66 million over the course of a Parliament.</p><p>Equalising the size of constituencies in the Boundary Review will ensure everyone’s vote will carry equal weight. Without such boundary reforms, MPs could end up representing constituencies based on data that is over 20 years’ old, disregarding significant changes in demographics, house building and migration. As it stands, some constituencies have twice as many electors than other constituencies and this cannot be right.</p><p>The four Boundary Commissions are between them currently employing a total of 32 staff (full-time equivalent) on the conduct of the Boundary Review. The four Boundary Commissions have, to date, spent approximately £2.3 million on the conduct of the current Boundary Review. This is money which would be wasted under the Labour Party’s proposals to try to block and delay this independent Review (as per the divisions of 18 November 2016, Official Report, Columns 563-666).</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 05/12/2016 16:40:05 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
