Administratively England

Tenpercentsolution.pdf This pdf file from Democratic Audit includes this paragraph:
"The Duchy of Cornwall has something of a special status among English counties - in some ways it is only administratively rather than culturally 'England' at all. Local opinion in Cornwall has been against a 'Devonwall' seat crossing the county boundary. It would not affect overall equality much to give it (plus the Isles of Scilly) a specific exemption, although the decision whether to give it 5 or 6 seats of its own is a matter of fine judgement."
Meanwhile the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill continues to rumble through the House of Lords.
