Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill
I completely understand the point that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Wallace of Tankerness, has made that the draft order in council can be modified only if the Boundary Commission requests a modification. However, is the implementation of the modification optional if such a request is made? The wording of the Bill appears to suggest that the Minister has discretion on whether to accept any modifications that have been requested.
