		The Commission's provisional recommendations allocate twenty-two constituencies to the county, pair the City of Leeds with the City of Wakefield, and therefore disband the pairing of the Borough of Kirklees with the City of Wakefield.
		With eleven constituencies, there would be a total allocation of twenty-two constituencies to West Yorkshire, and the combined borough average of 71,257 would be only 1,322 above the 2000 electoral quota of 69,935 which is closer to the electoral quota than the individual borough averages of Leeds and Wakefield (see the table at paragraph 9).
		The 2000 electorate of the county is 1,573,252 which, when divided by the 2000 electoral quota of 69,935, produces a theoretical entitlement to 22.4959 constituencies.

	Articles - List of Parliamentary constituencies in the United Kingdom
		Constituencies were long based on boroughs and traditional counties, but are now unique divisions of administrative counties, consisting of several wards.
		Some constituencies may cross the border between administrative counties, usually in urban areas where each metropolitan or London borough is considered a separate county.
		Most of the current constituency boundaries were last reviewed in the early 1990s, and are therefore based on administrative boundaries prior to the last series of local government boundary changes.
