Final recommendations p8 Appendix A Initial/revised proposals overview 1. The North West region was allocated 68 constituencies under the initial and revised proposals, a reduction of seven from the existing allocation. In formulating the initial and revised proposals the Commission decided to construct constituencies using the following sub-regions: Table 1A - Constituency allocation Sub-region Existing allocation Allocation under initial Allocation under revised proposals proposals Cumbria 6 5 5 Lancashire 16 14 14 Merseyside (less the 11 10 10 Wirral) Greater Manchester, the 42 39 39 Wirral and Cheshire 2. Under the initial proposals 14 of the existing 75 constituencies were unchanged. The revised proposals retained 13 of the existing constituencies unchanged, (a reduction of one). The theoretical entitlement of 25.37 constituencies in Greater Manchester and 10.34 constituencies in Cheshire meant that both counties had to contain constituencies that crossed their respective county boundaries. Under both sets of proposals it was proposed to have two constituencies ​ that crossed county boundaries. We decided not to propose constituencies that crossed the Greater Manchester ​ boundary in the north with Lancashire. The reasons for this are that there was no requirement for Lancashire to have a 1 constituency that crosses the county boundary with Greater Manchester and, even if this crossing had been proposed it still would be necessary to construct a cross-county constituency between Cheshire and Greater Manchester in the south.
