Review of Parliamentary Boundaries
Page updated on: 16/04/2024
UPDATE:
Wales' new parliamentary constituencies published
The Boundary Commission for Wales’ Final Recommendations report has been laid by the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the new map of parliamentary representation in Wales has been published.
The Commission’s Final Recommendations, which will take effect automatically at the next General Election, see further significant changes from the Revised Proposals published by the Commission in October 2022, in light of the representations received by the Commission.
You can view the final recommendations at: 2023 Parliamentary Review - Final Recommendations | BComm Wales (bcomm-wales.gov.uk).
The Boundary Commission for Wales has confirmed that it is to publish its Revised Proposals on 19 October 2022.
The Revised Proposals are informed by the Initial and Secondary Consultation Period (including Public Hearings), and the Assistant Commissioners' Report based on the representations received.
Upon publishing the Revised Proposals, the Commission will also publish the Assistant Commissioners' Report, a Partner Pack, and the associated maps of proposed constituencies.
The publication will trigger the final 4-week Consultation Period of the 2023 Review, in which the public and stakeholders will have one further opportunity to make representations to the Commission on Wales's new parliamentary constituencies.
Following the close of the Consultation Period, the Commission will consider the representations received and develop its Final Recommendations, to be submitted in Summer 2023.
