(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order gives effect without modification to the recommendations contained in the supplementary report of the Boundary Commission for England dated 5th December 1988. The report contains proposals for changes to the areas comprised in the 34 European Parliamentary constituencies referred to in article 2 of this Order where changes to the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies have resulted in inconsistencies between those boundaries and the boundaries of European Parliamentary constituencies. Article 2 of, and the Schedule to, this Order set out the new constituencies, but by virtue of the provision referred to in article 1(2) these constituencies will only have effect from the next European Parliamentary general election.
