Trying to make sense of Hansard's record of who supported what last night - and it appears that St Ives MP Andrew George found himself in a different lobby to Cornwall's five other coalition MPs when it came to the frequency of Boundary Commission reviews.
The government line is that constituency boundaries should be re-drawn every five years. A Labour amendment sought to change a line in Clause 8 to make reviews every ten years. Andrew voted with Labour. Stephen Gilbert, Sheryll Murray, Sarah Newton, Dan Rogerson and George Eustice all obeyed their whips and voted for a five-year-merry-go-round.
