Parliamentary representation limits amended to relax population-per-seat thresholds, enabling lawful readjustment after the census by Parliament. The Bill relaxes the constitutional population-per-seat bounds to reconcile seat allocation with the 1951 census and the statutory ceiling on total elected members, substituting larger thresholds to avoid constitutional irregularity when readjusting representation. It provides for reapportionment under the constitutional mechanism by establishing a Delimitation Commission to effect representation adjustments on the basis of the 1951 census, replacing allocations previously founded on presidential estimates.
