Introduction

1. We are the Boundary Commission for Scotland, an independent, non-political bodywhose purpose is to make recommendations for Scottish Parliament boundaries andUK Parliament constit uencies in Scotland.

2. We are tasked by the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 to undertake a review ofUK Parliament consti tuencies in Scotland, and we must submi t t o the Secretary of Statefor Scotland a report containing our recommendations for 52 Scott ish consti tuenciesbefore 1 October 2013.

3. This booklet contains our Init ial Proposals for t hese constituencies, information onhow to participate in our publi c consultation (13 October 2011 to 4 January 2012) anddetails of our Public Hearings t o be held throughout Scotland between 14 and 30November 2011.

The Review

4. This review is our sixth periodic review of UK Parliament constituencies in Scotlandsince the Commission was fir st established in 1945.

5. The legislation will result in a UK Parliament elected from 600 constituencies in placeof t he current 650, and in 52 constituencies in Scotland in place of t he current 59, foruse in the General Election expected to occur in 2015.

a. The legislation defines 2 consti tuencies: Na h-Eileanan an Iar consti tuency andOrkney and Shetland constituency.

b. The electorate of every other constituency in Scotland must be between 72,810and 80,473 unless its area exceeds 12,000 square kilometres.

c. No constituency may exceed 13,000 square kilometres.6. We commenced the current review on 4 March 2011. We are now consult ing the pub lic

on our Init ial Proposals. Details of how t o participate in the consultation are givenbelow. We will produce Revised Proposals during 2012, and expect t o make our finalrecommendations for constituencies in 2013.

7. For each constituency, we must recommend a name and its designation as a burghconsti tuency or a county constituency.

8. For further infor mation on the policies and procedures we have adopted to underpinth is review and the legal requirements for consti tuency design, please refer t o ourPolicies and Pr ocedur esbooklet, which is available on our website.

Our Init ial Prop osals

9. We have developed our Initial Proposals using electorate data from 1 December 2010.The number of electors registered in each council electoral ward on that date can befound on our website.

10. Because of the constraints on constituency design it has not been possible to constructall constituencies from comp lete electoral wards. Where we have had to distribute award boundary between constituencies we have, in most instances, followedcommunity council boundaries or other recognisable boundaries. There are 324 wholewards, and 29 wards divided between constit uencies, in our proposals: 35consti tuencies contain 1 or more part-wards.

11. 35 constituencies are each contained within a single council area. The remaining 17comprise parts of 2 council areas.

12. Our Init ial Proposals are summarised in Table 1. Maps of each consti tuency can befound in Appendix A. The proposed constituencies and t heir constituent wards in eachcouncil area are listed in Appendix B.
