Parliamentary Constituencies Bill

Proceeding contribution from Cat Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 July 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Parliamentary Constituencies Bill.

Quite the opposite: I am arguing that under the status quo the only blockage to the passing of a boundary review has been the Government, and they would, under this Bill, still have the power to put up the same block as they have the past two times that a boundary review has failed to go through this House. It is worth noting that if it was not for parliamentary oversight, we would have a 600-seat Parliament today. Perhaps that is an example of parliamentary scrutiny at its best.
