That the County Council note the report, process and timetable for submitting representations on the revised proposals. 

The Chief Executive introduced the revised proposals for the Boundary Commission’s 2013 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies in Wales and advised on the process and timetable for submitting representations in response to the revised proposals.  A summary of the revised proposals were attached at Appendix 1 of the report with full details being made available in the Member Services Library, each of the Group Rooms and on the Council’s website. 

            The only material change was the name of the Dee Estuary proposed constituency.  The Assistant Commissioners recommended that “the name of the county town of the county forming the larger part of the constituency is an appropriate name for the constituency and that therefore the proposed constituency be named Flint”.  Written representations on the revised proposals were invited during the consultation period between the 24 October and 19 December, 2012.   The Commission had asked those who wish to make representations to bear in mind those previously considered and to only submit new representations. 

            Councillor W. Mullin proposed that the County Council note the report, process and timetable for submitting representations on the revised proposals.  This was seconded by Councillor J.B. Attridge.  

RESOLVED:

That the County Council note the report, process and timetable for submitting representations on the revised proposals.
