At various times, the UK have carried out public consultations prior to the creation or amendment of certain Acts of Parliament.  Examples include the "Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008" (relating to Mitochondrial DNA donation) and "High Speed Rail (Preparation) Act 2013" (relating to the routing of the High Speed Railway lines, etc...). As well as including the AV/IRV referendum carried out in 2011, the "Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011" also included reducing the number of Members of Parliament from 650 to 600.  If a reduction in these MPs is implemented, this would directly mean that the constituency boundary map will be redrawn. What surprised me (but maybe it shouldn't have) about the act was that there have been on-going public consultations about the proposed new boundary map.  The final parts of these consultations is due to end next month on Monday 11th December. I'll just conclude my e-mail with a couple of small comments on links relating to the boundary change consultation. Thanks Gervase. o Summary of the review process as currently being done by the Boundary Commission for England, which includes a guide (in PDF format) of how the commission proposes to go about the redrawing of the boundaries under the rules of the act: <https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2018-review/> o Despite the heading on the web page mentioning London, the following link is to an online map that allows people to look at the proposed and the old boundaries for ALL the "governmental boundaries" in England.  Like any public consultation, you can add your own comment by clicking "Make a Comment" or click "View all comments" to see other people's comments. <https://www.bce2018.org.uk/node/6485>
