Explanatory note

This Order gives effect without modification to the recommendations contained in the report of the Boundary Commission for England dated 5th October 1987. The report contains proposals for changes to the areas of the parliamentary constituencies of Ipswich and Suffolk Coastal where local government area changes have resulted in inconsistencies between local government boundaries and the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies. The new constituencies are set out and described in the Schedule to this Order. By virtue of section 4(6) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 the coming into force of this Order does not affect any parliamentary election until a proclamation is issued by Her Majesty summoning a new Parliament.
