Proceeding contribution from Andrew Rosindell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 July 2020. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Constituencies Bill.
Parliamentary Constituencies Bill
I agree with much of what the hon. Gentleman is saying, but does he agree that sometimes a ward is completely artificial, so to break up a ward can actually unite a community, rather than divide it? Therefore, the Boundary Commission should be more flexible about using smaller building blocks, such as polling districts, or even an individual road that it makes sense to transfer into a constituency?
