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.”
