  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @MP voted no not to make the Electoral Commission certifying sufficient measures have been taken to register voters a pre-requisite for the next review of Parliamentary constituency boundaries.
  @MP voted aye to make the Electoral Commission certifying sufficient measures have been taken to register voters a pre-requisite for the next review of Parliamentary constituency boundaries.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against making the Electoral Commission certifying sufficient measures have been taken to register voters a pre-requisite for the next review of Parliamentary constituency boundaries.
  
  The Deputy Leader of the Commons Liberal Democrat MP David Heath stated he did not want to delay the process[3]. Labour MP Chris Bryant warned going ahead with the review with the current electoral register saying : "...many people are under-represented on the register. The danger is that they will therefore be under-represented in Parliament and their concerns will not be taken on board."[4]
  
  The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill contains provisions stating when periodic reports by Boundary Commissions on Parliamentary Constituency boundaries must be produced. 
  
  The Bill, as introduced, stated[1][2]:
  
  :(2)A Boundary Commission shall submit reports under subsection (1) above periodicallyâ
  
  :(a)   before 1st October 2013, and
  :(b)   before 1st October of every fifth year after that.â
  
  Graham Stringer MP proposed adding a further provision:
  
  :The boundary review due to be completed by the date set out in subsection (2)(a) above shall not begin until both Houses of Parliament have approved a report from the Electoral Commission certifying that in its opinion sufficient measures have been taken to provide for the registration of eligible voters."
