Parliamentary Constituencies Bill — Clause 1 — Reports of the Boundary Commissions — Dates of Reviews — 10 Nov 2020 at 17:30

The majority of MPs voted not to delay a review of Parliamentary constituency boundaries from 2031 to 2033.

MPs were considering the Parliamentary Constituencies Bill[1].

The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:

  • That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 1.

Lords amendment 1 stated[2]:

  • Page 1, line 12, leave out “2031” and insert “2033”

the amendment would have impacted Clause 1(3) of the Bill[3] which provided for an amendment to the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 introducing a replacement section 3(2) to that Act stating:

  • Each Boundary Commission must submit a report under subsection 10(1)—
  • (a)before 1 July 2023,
  • (b)before 1 October 2031, and
  • (c)before 1 October of every eighth year after that.”
