	UK Human Rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		If Parliament wishes to suspend habeas corpus, introduce internment without trial, institutionalise torture, re-instate capital punishment, confiscate private property without compensation, it can do so, and UK Judges are bound to apply the law as enacted.
		Note that the bill was to replace the freedom of all persons within the UK not to be detained save by due process of law, with a system of detention by executive fiat or lettres de cachet, subject only to a quite bogus review process in the Courts.
		If the Prime Minister has to come to this House again and say that the UK faces a threat that necessitates the UK going to war in order to deal with it, I for one will not give him the benefit of the doubt, which is a huge handicap for any Prime Minister to carry.

		In my Aberavon constituency, as elsewhere, there are many examples of anti-social behaviour.

		Note that the 'Index of Change' is a calculation to summaries the identity between old and new constituencies: it is calculated as the sum of the electors added and the electors removed from the base constituency as a percentage of the base constituency's electorate.
		To make it easier to understand, in the tables showing where the old and new constituency electorates went or came from, the old constituencies are in lower case and the new ones in all caps.
		Personally, I'd just prefer to see a correctly sized constituency - the only practical (as opposed to emotional) affect on representation this would have is that an MP would have more constituents and therefore less time to spend on the 2/3rds of the constituency he used to represent.

	Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: Searchlight Sites in the Newcastle Area: TT221 -- ...
		When an Act of Parliament prohibited the working of coal-mines without two outlets from each seam Lady Frances Anne decided that the simplest way to comply with this legislation in the case of Seaham Colliery was to buy Seaton Colliery from the North Hetton and Grange Colliery Company and amalgamate it with Seaham.
		Constituency boundaries were also changed and a new seat called 'Seaham' came into existence, but the town itself was only a small part of a largely rural constituency which bordered with the seats of Houghton-le-Spring, Durham and Sedgefield.
		MacDonald gave up Aberavon where there were excessive demands on his time and pocket for Seaham where he would not be expected to visit more than once a year and where the costs were met by local people.
