Coming into force in accordance with article 1(2)

At the Court at Windsor Castle, the 11th day of April

Present,

The Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council

The Boundary Commission for Wales (“the Commission”) have, in accordance with section 3(1) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986(1), submitted to the Secretary of State a report dated 31st January 2005(2) showing the parliamentary constituencies into which they recommend, in accordance with that Act, that Wales should be divided.

That report also shows, as provided for by paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 1 to the Government of Wales Act 1998(3), the alterations in the electoral regions of the National Assembly for Wales which the Commission recommend(4).

A draft Order in Council together with a copy of the Commission’s report was laid before Parliament by the Secretary of State to give effect, without modifications, to the recommendations contained in the report, and each House of Parliament has by resolution approved that draft.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to make the following Order under section 4 of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986:

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Order gives effect, without modifications, to the recommendations contained in the Fifth Periodical Report on Parliamentary Constituencies and First Report on National Assembly for Wales Electoral Regions of the Boundary Commission for Wales dated 31 January 2005(7)).

Article 2 and Schedule 1 set out and describe the parliamentary constituencies into which Wales will be divided.

Article 3 and Schedule 2 set out and describe the altered electoral regions of the National Assembly for Wales.

Electoral registration officers are required by article 4 to amend the registers of parliamentary electors and the registers of local government electors to give effect to this Order.

Article 5 revokes the Parliamentary Constituencies (Wales) Order 1995(8).

The Order will come into force fourteen days after the day on which it is made.

By virtue of section 4(6) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act(9), the coming into force of the Order will not affect any parliamentary election until a proclamation is issued by Her Majesty summoning a new Parliament or affect the constitution of the House of Commons until the dissolution of the Parliament then in being.

In addition, by virtue of paragraph 9(2) of Schedule 1 to the Government of Wales Act 1998(10) (the 1998 Act), the coming into force of the Order will not affect the operation of section 8 (constituency seats) or 9 (electoral region seats) of that Act, or the constitution of the Assembly, at any time before the next ordinary election to the Assembly.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities, voluntary bodies or the public sector.

(1)

1986 c. 56. Amendments made to the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (c. 41) are not yet in force.

(2)

Cmnd. HC743-1

(3)

1998 c. 38. The Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 is extended by Schedule 1 to the Government of Wales Act 1998 (the 1998 Act) for the purposes of the alterations to the electoral regions of the National Assembly for Wales and the allocation of seats to those regions.

(4)

Following the coming into force of section 3(3) of, and Schedule 4 to, the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1999 (c. 1) (the 1999 Act), the alignment of the National Assembly for Wales electoral regions with European Parliamentary electoral constituencies has ceased. Wales is now a single European Parliamentary electoral region. The European Parliamentary Constituencies (Wales) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/428), which provided for the alignment of the National Assembly for Wales electoral regions with the European Parliamentary electoral constituencies, and to which paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 1 to the 1998 Act refers, lapsed by reason of the 1999 Act’s provisions.

(5)

S.I. 1995/1036.

(6)

For “preserved counties” see section 64(1) of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994 (c. 19) (the 1994 Act) and paragraph 4(1)(a) and (1A) of Schedule 2 to the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986. Paragraph 4(1A) was inserted by the 1994Act.
