Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order gives effect without modification to the recommendations contained in the report of the Boundary Commission for Scotland dated 5th July 1990. The report contains proposals for changes to the areas of certain parliamentary constituencies where local government area changes have resulted in inconsistencies between local government boundaries and the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies. Articles 2 to 8 of, and the Schedule to, this Order set out and describe the new constituencies, the boundaries of which will be consistent with the revised local government boundaries at 5th July 1990.

By virtue of section 4(6) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, the coming into force of this Order does not affect any parliamentary election until a proclamation is issued by Her Majesty summoning a new Parliament.
