	Edinburgh East & Musselburgh
		Musselburgh finally gained the recognition which it had previously been in the new name of the seat - Edinburgh East & Musselburgh.
		Although there was a Tory recovery in Scotland in 1992, in Edinburgh East, it was the Scottish National Party who benefited in the drop in the Labour and Liberal votes and the SNP vote almost doubled.
		We predicted that Edinburgh East and Musselburgh would see a fight between the Scottish National Party and the Conservative candidate for second place in the General election and that the Liberal Democrats would do well to obtain more than 10% of the vote here.

	Introduction
		In relation to the proposed East Lothian constituency it is to be noted that the Commission’s recommendation complies with rule 4(1)(b) of Schedule 2 to the 1986 Act (as amended) in that it has regard to “the boundaries of local authority areas”.
		For the most part, any proposed alterations to the recommended constituency boundaries in Edinburgh were advanced by reference to the matter of “local ties” as mentioned in rule 7(b), and to a lesser extent by reference to the matters of “geographical considerations” and “inconveniences” as set out in rules 6 and 7(a) respectively.
		However, the Musselburgh Labour Party and the Edinburgh East and Musselburgh Labour Party both opposed the inclusion of Musselburgh in an East Lothian constituency as also did Gavin Strang, the MP for the present constituency of East Edinburgh and Musselburgh.
