Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Welsh Affairs.
Welsh Affairs
The theory behind redrawing the boundaries is that it equalises the seats. However, there are currently 6 million people unregistered, and if the Government's proposals go ahead, there will be an additional 10 million people off the register, according to the Electoral Commission. The result will be 16 million of the poorest, most marginalised in society off the register. It is a political coup on the part of the Conservatives.
