 | Media Guide to the New Parliamentary Constituencies |
This guide to the Fifth Periodical Review of parliamentary constituency boundaries was compiled by Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher (University of Plymouth). It is the result of collaboration between the BBC, ITN, the Press Association and Sky News to produce constituency by constituency estimates of the political effects of the work of the Parliamentary Boundary Commissions for England, Wales and Northern Ireland*.
It provides detailed 'notional' results for the 2005 general election in all those constituencies where there are boundary changes, and will be used throughout the media as the basis for determining which parties hold which seats and what change in share of the vote is required for seats to change hands. In addition, it shows how the electorate of each old constituency has been dispersed; where the electorate of each new constituency has come from; and the precise composition of the new constituencies in terms of local authority wards and divisions.
The Guide contains numerous tables including:
- List of Constituencies by Press Association number & Index of Change
- Seats ranked in order of % majority by party (GB)
- Target lists for the main parties by rank order of swing to win (GB)
- Seats ranked in order of % majority by region and party (GB)
- Regional target lists (GB)
- Three-way marginal seats (GB)
- Seats ranked by turnout/notional turnout at 2005 general election (GB)
There is also a grid allowing readers to project the distribution of seats in the new House of Commons for a range of shares of the vote.

Pass the Citizenship test with "Life in the UK". This is the official Home Office test book. "Life in the UK - A Journey to Citizenship" is the only official test book and study guide - written by the Home Office Life in the UK Advisory Group, the people who set the citizenship test. It is an essential reading for those taking the Citizenship test wanting to apply for British citizenship or settlement; or, teaching English or basic skills to prospective applicants for British citizenship or settlement. On 2 April 2007, the new Settlement Test and revised Life in the UK Citizenship Test come into effect. Applicants for citizenship or settlement (also known as 'permanent residence' or 'leave to remain') in the United Kingdom must pass the test or take the special English course. Testing on the new edition of the "Life in the UK - A Journey to Citizenship" handbook will start from 2 April 2007.
