asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has received the reports of the Boundary Commissioners, and when they will be published.

Yes, Sir. The report of the Commission for Northern Ireland has been published, and it is hoped to publish the remaining reports on Friday of next week.

Can the right hon. Gentleman assure the House that, in view of the various misfortunes which have attended this question of redistribution, he will proceed with the preparation of a Bill on the matter at a very early date?

I have anticipated the right hon. Gentleman's Question, and am already getting on with the job.
