Nobody really disagrees with the point about equal-sized constituencies. What we are looking forward to hearing from the hon. Lady is an argument about why we need to reduce the number of seats from 650 to 600, other than that she likes the number 600. That is the only reason that she has given us. I like the number 650, but I will make an argument for why it should stay at that. I need an argument from the hon. Lady as to why it should be reduced to 600.
