Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill

Debate between Jim Cunningham and Wendy Morton

2nd reading: House of Commons
Friday 18th November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jim Cunningham (Coventry South) (Lab)]

Will the hon. Lady give way?

[Wendy Morton]

I am going to make some progress because there are still Members who want to speak.

Along with colleagues on the Conservative Benches, I was elected on a manifesto pledge to reduce the number of Members of Parliament, and the Government have a clear mandate from the people to do this.
