Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill — Cap on Total Population of Parliamentary Constituency — 19 Jan 2011 at 17:44
The majority of members of the House of Lords voted against capping the total population of a parliamentary constituency at 130% of the mean number of electors in a constituency (excluding two exceptional constituencies).
The House of Lords was considering the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:
- Amendment 65B 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, introduced by a later amendment, was to state[2]:
- “2A No constituency shall have a total population which is more than 130% of the electoral quota.”
