The Government's manifesto re-affirms the commitment to deliver equal and updated boundaries and reduce the size of the House of Commons.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> Following laws already passed by Parliament that set out the date of the electoral register to be used at boundary reviews, and provide that the current Boundary Review should be based on the electoral registers from 2015, the independent and impartial Boundary Commissions are consulting on their proposals to deliver the boundary changes, and they will submit their final proposals to Parliament in autumn 2018. These reforms will ensure fair and equal representation for the voting public across the United Kingdom.<\/p> <\/p> Equalising the size of constituencies in the Boundary Review will ensure everyone\u2019s vote will carry equal weight. Without such boundary reforms, MPs could end up representing constituencies based on data that is over 20 years\u2019 old, disregarding significant changes in demographics, house building and migration.<\/p> <\/p>"}
