(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order gives effect without modifications to the recommendations contained in the report of the Boundary Commission for Wales dated 30th September 1992. The report contains proposals for changes to the areas of certain parliamentary constituencies where county boundary changes have resulted in inconsistencies between those boundaries and the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies. Article 2 of, and the Schedule to, this Order gives effect to those proposals (together with the new names for the Ceredigion Gogledd Penfro and Montgomeryshire constituencies). Article 3 of this Order gives effect to the proposal that the name of the constituency formerly known as Brecon and Radnor be changed. 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, or affect the constitution of the House of Commons until the dissolution of the Parliament then in being.
