: Boundary Commission for Engiand NEWS RELEASE Issued by Boundary Commission for England St Catherines House 10 Kingsway Tjfismmmriwt®i London WC2B 6JP ftins PROPOST^S FOR PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY BOUNDARIES IN CLEVELAND Provisional recommendations for parliamentary constituencies in the County of Cleveland will be published on October 1992. These are part of the 1 fifth set of recommendations to be published as part of the general review of parliamentary constituency boundaries announced by the Boundary Commission for England on 21 February 1991. The provisional recommendations are listed below and are also shown on the attached outline map together with the ward electorate for the county, on which the Commission are required by law to work. The Commission recommend that Cleveland should continue to be represented by six constituencies. Announcements being published in the local press give details of the recommendations and explain where maps illustrating the recommended changes are available for inspection by the public - usually at the district council offices. The Commission wish to stress that these provisional recommendations relate solely to parliamentary constituencies and do not affect the structure or arrangements of local government (County, District, Town or Parish councils) or the services they provide. Rules for Redistribution The Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 places a limit on the total number of constituencies and also contains the rules for redistribution of seats which in summary have the following effect. County and London Borough boundaries are to be followed so far as is practicable. Subject to these requirements, the electorates of constituencies are to be as nearly equal as possible, but the Commission can depart from these rules if special geographical considerations make this desirable, or if changes cause inconveniences or break local ties. The Act requires the Commission in considering the size of constituency electorates (a) to use the ward electorate figures on the enumeration date (as annexed to this news release), and (bj to work to the electoral quota l^fiwtseliiwei9»<kg#H!>Qclbytho^ni'ii'oroityofSouthemptofiLfefaryDigitisation Unit . . . throughout the period of the general review. The electoral quota is arrived at by dividing the electorate in England on the enumeration by the existing number of seats. The enumeration date is the date when the commencement of the general review was announced (21 February electorate in England on the enumeration date was 36,302,984 which, wnen divided by the existing number of seats (524), produces an electoral quo a 69,281 . At the start of the review, the electoral quota was published tHohweevuenrd,ersittanldaitnegr tchaamte tthoe ltiogthatl tehlaetctaorarteeturinn fErnogmlanadDwiasstri3c6t, Coutncil• contained an error in one of the ward figures resulting in an undercoun of 1,000 electors. The increase of two in the electoral quota has not changed the theoretical entitlement to seats (see Provisiona Recommendations below) of this County. Representations The Commission are required to consider representations about their provisional recommendations made within one month of local publication. TChoemsmeissrieopnrefsoerntEnagtliaonnds, sShtouCladthebreineasddHroeusssee,d10toKinTghsewaSyecrLeotndaorny,, WBCo2uBnd6aJrPy In this case, the representation period ends on 1 Novem,ber 1992. Where representations objecting to the provisional recommendations are made by an interested local authority or by a body of 100 or more electors, the Commission cannot proceed with their final recommendations to the Home Secretary until a local inquiry has been held. If after the inquiry the Commission decide to alter their recommendations, the_ revised recommendations must also be published, but a further local inquiry is not obligatory Implementation of the recommendations Under the present law the Commission must submit their report on the general review for the whole of England to the Home Secretary between 1 February 1993 and 31 January 1998 but legislation under consideration by Parliament brings that date forward to 31 December 1994. It is the Home Secretary's duty to lay the Commission's report before Parliament together with a draft Order in Council giving effect to the recommendations with or without modifications. The draft Order is submitted to both Houses of Parliament for approval and, after it is made, the new constituencies take effect at the next general election. Provisional Recommendations The 'Commission propose adjustments to five of the six constituencies within the county to reduce the disparity in the electorates Cleveland has six constituencies with a 1991 electorate of 418,596. This number of electors, when divided by the electoral quota (69,281), gives a theoretical entitlement to 6.04 seats. The Commission therefore propose that Cleveland should continue to have six constituencies. With six seats, the average constituency electorate in the county (the county average) is 69,766. Ford Collection ftlMiliLiijiiH'iwg»<k9#l«0€l'''byt'hofah«w¥<^roity>0^>fiouthainiptonLibraryDigitisation Unit The electorates of the existing seats range from 59,324 (Middlesbrough BC) to 80,196 (Langbaurgh CC); a disparity of 20,872. The Commission have decided provisionally to recommend some adjustments to the boundaries of five of the existing seats in order to reduce the electorate disparities. The Commission recognised that the electorate size of Hartlepool Borough (68,761) remained close to both the electoral quota and the county average. They decided therefore not to propose any change to the Hartlepool constituency, which is currently coterminous with the Borough boundary. The Commission considered that Stockton-on-Tees Borough was of suitable electorate size (132,149) to form two whole seats. In order to produce two seats of comparable electorate size within the Borough, the Commission propose that the Elm Tree ward is transferred from Stockton North to Stockton South and that the three Middlesbrough Borough wards of Ayresome, Brookfield and Kader, currently within Stockton South, are transferred to the Middlesbrough constituency. The effect of these changes would result in Stockton North and Stockton South having electorates of 66,795 and 65,354 respectively. The transfer of the three Middlesbrough Borough wards from Stockton South to Middlesbrough result in a proposed Middlesbrough seat of 74,097 electors. Despite the size of the electorate, the Commission considered that the wards comprising the constituency had common interests and should not be split between constituencies. The Commission considered further change to Middlesbrough, particularly the possibility of including the central Middlesbrough Borough wards of Easterside and Park End, currently within Langbaurgh, but took the view that this would result in an unacceptably large Middlesbrough seat, over 17% above both the electoral quota and the county average. The Commission also considered that none of the other current Middlesbrough wards were suitable for transfer to another seat in order to accommodate the inclusion of the Easterside and Park End wards. The Commission therefore rejected any further change to Middlesbrough. In relation to the southern and eastern areas of the county comprising the existing seats of Langbaurgh and Redcar, the Commission considered that the large electorate size of the Langbaurgh seat could most suitably be reduced by the transfer of the three Langbaurgh-on-Tees Borough wards of Longbeck, Saltburn and St. Germains to Redcar. In making the proposals, the Commission considered that the interests of these wards, which contain the coastal towns of Marske-by-the-Sea and Saltburn-by-the-sea would best be served by inclusion within the same constituency as the tow,n of Redcar. The Commission recognised, however, that the inclusion of the three wards within Redcar would bring that seat's electorate size to nearly 14% above the electoral quota and nearly 13% above the county average. The Commission therefore also propose the transfer of the Langbaurgh-on-Tees Borough ward of Ormesby, currently within Redcar, to Langbaurgh. The six constituencies provisionally recommended by the Commission are all within 7% of both the electoral quota and the county average and the disparity between constituencies is reduced to 8,743. In view of the relatively small number of adjustments to the boundaries of the existing constituencies, the Comimission propose no naiiie or designation changes.
