What is the Boundary Committee for England and what is it doing?
The Boundary Committee for England is an independent body, part of the Electoral Commission. It has been asked by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Hazel Blears) to advise her on the potential for viable unitary councils across Norfolk, Suffolk and Devon. It has no powers to make any decisions and must provide advice to the Secretary of State by 15 July 2009.
