  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @MP voted aye to require publicity and consultation on changes to Parliamentary constituency boundaries recommended by a Boundary Commission.  
  @MP voted no not to require publicity and consultation on changes to Parliamentary constituency boundaries recommended by a Boundary Commission.  
  
  The majority of MPs voted to require publicity and consultation on changes to Parliamentary constituency boundaries recommended by a Boundary Commission. 
  
  The vote was technically on whether to accept Clause 10 of the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill. 
  
  
  Key elements of the clause include:
  * That consultations be run by the Boundary Commission on proposed constituency changes.
  * No public enquiries into changes are to be initiated by the Boundary Commission. 
  * There is only a requirement to consult on the initial proposals, and on the first of any revisions; no consultations are required for second and subsequent revisions. 
  
  The Clause was not amended during the committee of the whole house, and no proposed amendments were voted on. 
  
  What was Clause 9[2] of the Bill as introduced became Clause 10[3] in the next version of the Bill published following the commons' (as a committee of the whole house) having considered the Bill.
