The Boundaries Commission has announced that it has adjourned meetings until March 11 and final written submissions must be in by March 15.

A statement from Commission chairman Sir Frank Blackman said that during the adjournment, Commission members will individually continue to consider the submissions that have been made.

He added: “It is to be borne in mind that the Commission's mandate is mainly to recommend the number of members and constituencies for the House between 20 and 40.”
