Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill

On the question of whether the Bill is implementable in the timescale set out by its proponents, does my right hon. Friend recall that the Boundary Commission gave evidence to the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee in the previous Parliament to the effect that it would not be possible to make the changes unless the commission started, as it did this time, in February 2016. That was the latest point at which it could start if it was to produce changes in time for October 2018.
