<p>It is through the electoral reviews undertaken by the independent Local Government
Boundary Commission for England that there can be confidence about equality of representation
for electors. Where new unitary councils are set up their electoral arrangements for
the first election will be established either through a Commission’s electoral review,
or if an early review is not practicable, provided for in the order creating the new
council drawing on existing electoral arrangements established by the Commission for
predecessor councils. In the latter case it is expected that the Commission would
undertake a review for subsequent elections, particularly if it judged that equality
of representation for electors was not being effectively delivered.</p>
