Response
2.The Commission accepts that the draft of the Hertfordshire (Electoral Changes) (Amendment) Order 2018 should have set out that a draft of the instrument has been laid before Parliament and a period of forty days has expired and neither House has resolved that the instrument should not be made.
3.The Commission apologises for this oversight, and intends to remedy this omission when the Order is made.
