The boundary commission for England have announced the publication date for the revised parliamentary constituency proposals.

The boundary commission have released previous proposals for constituencies to help create a standard population size for each parliamentary seat.

The total number of constituencies will remain at 650, but some areas will gain seats, and some will lose them.

Cumbria will retain its five constituencies according to the previous proposals but with two newly named constituencies, Westmoreland and Eden and Copeland and the Western lakes.

The revised proposals will be released on Tuesday, November 8.

Members of the public will be able to view and comment on new suggested constituency boundaries.

This third and final consultation will last four weeks, ending on Monday December 8, and will be the last opportunity for the public to have a say on the new map of constituencies in England.
