I am delighted that my hon. Friend has secured statutory protection for her constituency, alongside my right hon. Friend Mrs Miller. In a previous life, when I worked for the Scottish Conservatives, I argued strongly for a set of provisions that would cover all island-authority constituencies; I was very disappointed that Ynys Môn was left out. I think my hon. Friend would agree that a great injustice has been corrected in the new version of the legislation.
