Today, Monday 25th October, the Prime Minister is due to meet with a delegation of MPs who represent each of the 5 constituencies within Cornwall.
I would like to lend my support to this delegation and would strongly urge the Prime Minister to himself support an amendment to The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill which is being put forward by these MPs. I understand that this amendment seeks to protect the historic boundary of Cornwall providing the same explicit protection for this region, as afforded to Orkney and Eilean Siar.
Aside from the ancient nature of the border between Cornwall and Devon which dates back more than 1000 years, I feel that the creation of a constituency containing areas of Cornwall and Devon will result in a fundamentally poorer deal for residents of both counties both democratically and economically.
I therefore urge the Prime Minister to support this delegation.
