Why have the boundaries of Norfolk’s Parliamentary constituencies changed?
The Boundary Commission for England has decided that Norfolk should have a ninth Parliamentary constituency and an extra Member of Parliament with effect from the 2010 General Election.
In order to create an extra constituency and balance the population more evenly between each of the nine MPs, the boundaries of most of Norfolk’s current Parliamentary Constituencies have changed.
Norfolk previously had eight MPs in the House of Commons. But the size of Norfolk’s population means the county now has nine Members of Parliament.
