Boundary Commission for Wales submits Final Recommendations as Bersham and Rhostyllen look set share an MP with Machynlleth

The Boundary Commission for Wales has submitted the Final Recommendations report of the 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies to the Speaker of the House of Commons.

The Speaker will lay the report before Parliament in due course and the Commission will then publish its report on its website and portal.

The Commission began the 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies in 2021 and was required to submit its final recommendations to the Speaker of the House of Commons by 1 July this year.

As we reported Revised Proposals saw changes to the majority of constituencies initially proposed by the Commission in September 2021, and changes are proposed to every existing constituency.

The old Clwyd South is set to be deleted, and parts of Wrexham will share an MP with Machynlleth in a new “Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr” constituency. The full details of what will be the final changes will emerge once the report is published.

Commenting on the submission of the report, Shereen Williams MBE OstJ DL, Secretary to the Boundary Commission for Wales said: “The Commission looks forward to the laying of the Final Recommendations report, which is strongly influenced by the thousands of representations received from the public and our stakeholders.

“We would like to thank Wales’ Members of Parliament, Principal Councils, and Political Parties for the constructive way in which they have engaged with the process.

“Our greatest thanks however is reserved for the members of the public who asked questions, submitted their views, and helped shape Wales’ new parliamentary constituencies.

The Commission will make further comments upon the laying of the report – The Commission have also said the Final Recommendations will come into effect automatically at the next scheduled General Election.

Likewise, the Boundary Commission for Wales, nor their communications provider, has not asked.” ) ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
