Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill — Moving to Vote on Population Cap for Parliamentary Constituency — 19 Jan 2011 at 17:29

Baroness Rendell of Babergh voted to carry on debating a proposed cap on the total population of a parliamentary constituency.

The majority of members of the House of Lords voted to conclude their consideration of a proposed cap on the total population of a parliamentary constituency.

The House of Lords was considering the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill[1]. The motion approved in this vote was:

  • that the Question be now put

This resulted the question of if amendment 65B ought be made was put to the house. The amendment stated:

  • Page 9, line 23, after “rules” insert “2A,”

This would have had effect on Clause 11 of the Bill and sought to add a new element to the rule setting the number of electors in a constituency between 95% and 105% of the mean electorate of those constituencies subject to the rule (Na h-Eileanan an Iar and Orkney and Shetland were to be exempted), the new rule 2A was to state[2]:

  • “2A No constituency shall have a total population which is more than 130% of the electoral quota.”
