Final report on the 2026 boundary review

53.Paragraph 8 provides that the Commission must, before 1 April 2025, make and publish a final report on the 2026 boundary review, and send this report to the Welsh Ministers. The report must confirm which of the UK parliamentary constituencies have been combined to create the 16 Senedd constituencies, the name of each constituency (and whether each constituency is a county or borough constituency. The report must specify the detail of any changes to the proposals set out in the second report and explain why such changes have been made. This paragraph provides that a failure to submit a final report to the Welsh Ministers by 1 April 2025 does not render the report invalid. This paragraph also requires the Welsh Ministers to lay the final report before the Senedd as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the report.
