Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 November 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.


Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

These two constituencies will never have to be connected to the mainland. Unlike the Isle of Wight or Anglesey or the islands off Argyll, Orkney and Shetland and the Western Isles will not have to be treated with a constituency on the mainland because the Bill states that the numbers-driven approach will not be applied to them. They will for ever be kept separate. That is the difference. They are being treated in a completely different way from the rest of the country.
