- No public enquiries into changes are to be initiated by the Boundary Commission.
- There is only a requirement to consult on the initial proposals, and on the first of any revisions; no consultations are required for second and subsequent revisions.
The Clause was not amended during the committee of the whole house, and no proposed amendments were voted on.
