Constituencies
- Question
- To ask the Deputy Prime Minister pursuant to the oral statement of 5 July 2010, Official Report, columns 23-5W, on political and constitutional reform, what account he took of the proposed referendum on the transfer of legislative powers under Part 4 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 to the National Assembly for Wales in his proposals for boundary changes to constituencies.
- Answer
-
The Government's proposals for more equal constituency sizes for the House of Commons will ensure that votes have more equal weight. The legislation does take account of the link between parliamentary constituencies and Welsh Assembly Government constituencies; the link between the two will be broken so that fewer parliamentary constituencies in future would not lead to a concomitant reduction in the size of the Assembly.
