I propose to take Questions Nos. 581 and 588 together.

I published the Local Electoral Area Boundary Committee Report 2013 on 30 May 2013. I have accepted in full the recommendations in the Report and I will be making the necessary local electoral area orders to give effect to these in due course. The local electoral areas specified in these orders, and the number of members to be elected for each electoral area, will apply at the 2014 local elections.
