Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill 2010-11: Commons Stages

This Paper summarises all Commons stages of the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill 2010-11. It supplements Research Paper 10/55 which was produced for the Bill’s Second Reading and replaces Standard Note 5697 ‘Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill: Progress of the Bill’. No major changes were made during the passage of the Bill in the Commons, but the text of the referendum question was altered and legislative provision was made for the combination of polls on 5 May 2011.
