Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill — Clause 11 — number and distribution of seats — 1 Nov 2010 at 19:42

The majority of MPs voted against a measure which would have ensured local government wards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland would be entirely within one Parliamentary constituency; and would have prevented Parliamentary Constituencies from spanning more than two counties or London Boroughs.

Labour MP Chris Bryant proposed the rejected amendment which at 11, page 10, line 10, of the bill[1] would at the end insert-

  • (1A) A Boundary Commission shall ensure that-
  • (a) in England, no district or borough ward shall be included in more than one constituency;
  • (b) in Northern Ireland, no local authority ward shall be included in more than one constituency;
  • (c) in Wales, no unitary authority ward shall be included in more than one constituency;
  • (d) in Scotland, regard shall be had to local authority ward boundaries.
  • (1B) The Boundary Commission for England shall where practicable have regard to the boundaries of counties and London boroughs; and in any case no constituency shall include the whole or part of more than two counties or London boroughs.
  • (1C) The Boundary Commission for Wales shall where practicable have regard to the boundaries of unitary authorities; and in any case no constituency shall include the whole or part of more than two unitary authorities.'.

The proposed amendment would have been to the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill[2][3].
