Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 18 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill [HL].
Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I come back to an earlier point, because the Minister is about to conclude. One point that she made in respect of one part of the Bill has a significant bearing on the other. On constituency disparity, she cited the case of the Isle of Wight, which has a sense of communityand a Member who represents more than 100,000 constituents. That has a bearing on the question whether it is manageable for one Member to deal with that number of constituents.
