The report shows the Parliamentary constituencies into which the Commission recommends that Wales should be divided in order to give effect to the Rules set out in Schedule 2 to the Act. We also recommend the name by which each constituency should be known and whether each constituency should be a county constituency or a borough constituency. On 13 September 2016, the Commission published its initial proposals for Parliamentary constituencies in Wales. There began a process of consultation on those proposals.
