The proposal to reduce the number of MPs makes no sense at a time of growing population. On current figures the reduction in parliament numbers would result in the number of constuents for whom each MP is responsible increasing from 100,000 to 108,000 per MP.

Basing the boundaries on the numbers on the electoral roll also makes little sense as each MP is responsible for representing all constituents regardless of whether they are on the electoral roll or not. Basing boundaries upon those on the electoral roll skews and distorts the results and fails to take account of huge numbers of the populaon who may not vote but do exist and whose problems take up large amounts of an MPs me.

Logic would say that at a time of growing population the number of parliamentary representatives should be increased not reduced. Likewise numbers should be increased where the populations are increasing fastest, in the cities. Instead the proposed changes are reducing representation in urban areas and mixing urban, suburban and rural areas where the problems are very different.

Member of the public Hull Reducing the cost of politics is a laudable aim but the place to start would be the massively bloated House of Lords, perhaps by getting rid of the hereditary peers! I am sure the BCE has done the best job possible considering the parameters within which it was forced to work, but these were massively flawed and the resulng boundary changes will make our polical system massively less democrac and the job of MPs in represenng their constuents very much harder.

My own constituency contains many EU migrants, very few of whom will be on the electoral roll and therefore they do not count as part of the population for the redrawing of constituency boundaries yet the problems they may have and the problems they may cause are all the responsibility of the constituency's MP. I know that my own MP, Diana Johnson, will take the same amount of trouble for everyone who comes to her for help, regardless of whether they can vote for her or not but her role would become impossible with the number of "ignored" constuents included within the new boundaries.

It would seem that this redrawing of the constituency boundaries has been designed not to reduce parliamentary costs or equalise constituency numbers but purely with the intent of gerrymandering constuency boundaries with the aim of turning the into a one party state!

I have a concern that it will be difficult to contact our MP. This happens when the population of our country is rising and our local democracy is less responsible Member of the public Hull for services due to the cuts in to what they are accountable for. I realise that my opinion will not matter but I wanted to voice it as I believe our democracy is important.

First Past the post is an unfair system of vong. In the last election the conservatives won with 50.8% majority according to our voting system but in reality only 36.8% of the UK voted conservative. The system is already biased towards the conservaves and as they are the ones proposing these boundaries I can only assume it's going to get worse. Member of the public Sheffield Newland Ward In the current system my vote is not worth the same as everyone else. This is not democracy. The elecon should be based on each individual vote rather than constuencies. Please change the voting system rather than the boundaries.

Dear Boundary Commission,

I hereby wish to support the Conservative Party's counter proposal regarding the proposed Central and Kingston upon Hull West & Haltemprice constuencies.

I also wish to support the Commission's proposal regarding Kingston upon Hull East, and register my disagreement with The Labour Party's proposal ( 6.10, 6.11, 6.12 and appendices.)

Reasons for the above are : Conservative counter proposal restores all of the West Hull dockside area to one constituency, reflecting the strong links between the St. Andrew's, Myton and Pickering Wards. On behalf of another organisation Hull Bricknell Ward Conservative counter proposal includes all the city's natural "West Hull suburbs" in one constituency, including wards straddling the local authority boundary but having strong ties nonetheless. For example, many people in the Hull wards ( Bricknell, Boothferry, Derringham and Newington ) work, shop and socialise in the East Riding of wards ( Congham x2, , Tranby and Willerby & Kirkella ) and vice versa.

Conservave counter proposal restores the strong local links between the neighbouring Newington and Boothferry wards.

This submission represents the seled opinion of the Hull & Hessle Conservave Associaons, having discussed widely with members over recent weeks.

I hope that our submission will be taken into account. Yours Sincerely Andrew Neil Forster, Chairman, Hull & Hessle Conservaves Member of Parliament My formal submission to the Boundary Review is attached. I will also send a paper copy to the Boundary commission. Newland Ward

I would like to see the following 4 constituencies. 1, Bransholme, Kingswood,Ganstead, and Sutton-on Hull. 2, Hull West and Hessle to include Anlaby, Swanland and Willerby. 3, Hull East and to include Bilton, and Preston. 4, HUll Central to run Drypool ward in Hull east to Newington ward in west Hull, and as far north as Newland ward. The boundaries of the new constituencies would be based on economic infrastructure and potential wealth growth. The boundaries would fall within the confines of the A164, A1079, A1033, A new road linking the A1033 with the b1239 at Ganstead to the current A1033 at Hedon. These roads would be developed into dual carriageways from the Bridge to Hedon. The new ring road would be an extension of the A15. Greater economic unity Member of the public Hull between East Riding and Hull City Councils would prevail. The setting up of Sculcoates Joint committees covering Planning, Fire and Police Authorites would unite both authorities to provide better living conditions for their respective electorate and would give the area greater status Nationally. A possible future development might be an extension of the railway from Saltend to Hedon and the introduction of stations within the Hull City boundary to include a station covering Marfleet and King George Dock for the ferry passengers.
