Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

I shall repeat what I said. I said that the Boundary Commissions could be judicially reviewed. Of course, I hope that that does not happen and that there will be no such a challenge. Whether any challenge would lead to a delay would depend on the nature of the challenge and the time it took for it to be heard. I remind the House of the provisions in the next Part of the Bill at Clause 10(3): "““A Boundary Commission shall submit reports under subsection (1) above periodically … before 1st October 2013””." We hope that that will find favour with the House and will be in the statute to which the Boundary Commissions will have to adhere.
