I make that 60 so far, don't know how many were left unchanged for the review first used in the 1983 GE? 66, Dimbleby made the point very early in the election programme, an awful lot of them in London for some weird reason, three of the Hillingdon, two Hounslow and the four Barnet seats off the top of my head. The reason could well be that in the 1983 boundaries, the London Boroughs were still treated separately and individually for the purpose. There were no constituencies straddling the borders between two boroughs (except for the City of London and Westminster). Therefore each borough had either 2, 3 or 4 constituencies. There was no flexibility of allowing a borough to change from (for example) 3.1 constituencies to 3.3, due to a small change in population. The only boroughs needing constituency boundary changes would have been the ones with substantial population changes within the borough, or where there had been ward boundary changes. |
