The Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, also known as the 2013 Review or just Boundary changes,〔(Meeting with political parties April 2011 ) Boundary Commission for Wales〕 was the process by which parliamentary constituencies to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom were being reviewed by the four UK Boundary Commissions, to comply with the revised rules for the number and size of constituencies introduced by the Coalition government. The process was intended to be completed by 2015. Following a debate in the House of Lords on 14 January 2013, an amendment to alter the relevant legislation to change the date by which the Sixth Review should be completed was passed by the Lords with a majority of 69 votes.〔(UK Tory fury at boundary bill defeat ) Press TV〕 This was the expected result given opposition by Labour and latterly, the Liberal Democrat party to the legislation.〔(Peers expected to block plan for fewer MPs ) The Daily Telegraph〕 A subsequent Commons vote on 29 January 2013 meant a new review will instead begin in 2015 for completion in 2018.〔(Conservatives lose boundary review vote ) BBC News〕 The Boundary Commissions announced the cancellation of the reviews on 31 January 2013.〔〔〔〔 Whilst the Review was required to be completed by October 2013 (by virtue of Section 3 of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 as amended by the Part 2 of the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011), the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 amended the Parliamentary Constituencies and Voting System Act, delaying the review until 2018. ==Current status== Following the 2015 election it was reported that the majority Conservative government considered the boundary review as a priority.〔(Further observations on the British election ) Washington Examiner〕〔(New Commons boundaries top Conservative government agenda ) The Daily Telegraph〕 In July 2015, Prime Minister David Cameron reiterated his plan to "cut the cost of politics" by going ahead with reducing the number of Members of Parliament.〔(Prime Minister's Questions 1 July 2015 ) They Work For You (Hansard Search)〕 He said the proposals were "the right approach".〔(David Cameron to push ahead with cut to MPs numbers ) Herald Scotland〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
