  • Initial Proposals for New Westminster Constituencies
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 15 ON THE AGENDA STIRLING COUNCIL CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S OFFICE 1 DECEMBER 2011 NOT EXEMPT INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR NEW WESTMINISTER CONSTITUENCIES 1 SUMMARY 1.1 The Boundary Commission for Scotland has published its Initial Proposals for UK Parliament Constituencies in Scotland. The proposed changes affect the Westminster constituency covering the Stirling Council area. The initial proposal creates the Stirling and Crieff constituency covering all of the Stirling Council area and the south-west part of Perth and Kinross Council area, Appendix 1. 1.2 The consultation on these initial proposals will last from 13 October 2011 until 4 January 2012. This will be followed by further consultation in 2012 before the Boundary Commission makes its Final Recommendations. 2 OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S) Council agrees to consider the Boundary Commission for Scotland proposals contained in the sixth review of UK Parliament Constituencies and determine the Council’s response. 3 CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 The UK parliament has decided to reduce the number of UK parliament constituencies from 650 to 600. In Scotland this means that there will be 52 constituencies instead of 59. Of these 2 constituencies are defined in the legislation: Na h-Eileanan an lar and Orkney and Shetland. The remaining constituencies must each have between 72,810 and 80,473 electors. The Commission has also had to ensure that no constituency exceeds the maximum permitted area of 13000 square kilometres. Details are provides in Annex 1. 3.2 Due to the reduction in the number of constituencies and the requirements for nearly equal numbers of electors in each constituency, it has not been possible to leave constituencies as they currently are.
