Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political and Constitutional Reform.
Political and Constitutional Reform
We have heard various cost estimates, but not one for the redistribution of the boundaries under the Boundary Commission. What is that cost estimate? I do not share the noble Lord’s view on the Boundary Commission. In a public inquiry in my former constituency of Worthing all the political parties and everyone were agreed on what the right answer was. After the matter had been concluded, the Boundary Commission, without warning, came up with a totally different solution. Should there not be an appeals procedure, at least in extreme cases where the answer seems to be wrong?
