European constituencies for Wales?

Constituencies for the British Parliament are redrawn at least once every fifteen years; those for British members of the European Assembly must then be redrawn as a consequence.

This paper illustrates the use of a computer-based information-processing system that could speed up part of the procedure, using as its example the definition of four European Assembly constituencies for Wales. -Author
