Section 10: Implementation of recommendations by order
55.Section 10 provides that, following a recommendation by the Boundary Committee to the Secretary of State for boundary change, the Secretary of State may implement the recommendation with or without modification by order. The Secretary of State may also decide to take no action or request a further review.
56.Subsection (2) provides that, where the Boundary Committee makes a recommendation for no boundary change, the Secretary of State may if he so chooses make a request for a further review under section 8.
57.The Secretary of State must allow 6 weeks from the date that the recommendation was sent to him before making an order, a decision to take no action or a decision to request a further review. This is to allow time for representations to be made directly to the Secretary of State and for him to consider them.
58.Subsection (4) allows the Secretary of State, when he receives a recommendation from the Boundary Committee, to make a request to the Boundary Committee to supply him with information or advice on any matter relating to the recommendation.
