<p> </p><p>Reports on ward boundaries are not made to the Government. The electoral
arrangements of a local authority (number of councillors and the number and boundaries
of electoral areas) are matters that are entirely the responsibility of the independent
Local Government Boundary Commission for England which itself makes the statutory
order, subject to Parliament not objecting to a draft of the proposed order, implementing
any new electoral arrangements. Recommendations for changes to administrative (district
and county) boundaries are required to be sent to the Secretary of State but the Commission
has no such reviews in hand.</p><p> </p>
