(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect without modification to the recommendations contained in the report of the European Parliamentary Constituencies Committee for England dated 17th December 1993. That Committee was established under the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1993 for the purpose of determining the European Parliamentary constituencies into which England should initially be divided in order to give effect to the increase (of five) that section 1 of that Act made to the number of such constituencies. This Order is expressed to come into force on the date when that section comes into force for all purposes (or all remaining purposes), but the effect of paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 2 to the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1978 (which applies by virtue of paragraph 8(5) of the Schedule to the 1993 Act) is that the constituencies constituted by this Order will only have effect from the first general election of representatives to the European Parliament after this Order comes into force.
Article 2 of, and the Schedule to, this Order set out the European Parliamentary constituencies into which England is to be divided.
1978 c. 10; paragraph 8(1) was amended by paragraph 5(9) of Schedule 3 to the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 (c. 56) and the title of the 1978 Act was amended by section 3(1)(b) and (2)(b) of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1986 (c. 58) on the coming into force of the Single European Act (Cmnd. 9758).
