On Friday, MPs are debating constituency boundaries and reducing the number of MPs from 650 to 600, and equalise the electorates to about 74,000 people per constituency.

It was supposed to have been brought in for the 2015 general election, but the coalition government members could not agree and some think it will fail again.

Daily Politics reporter Emma Vardy spoke to Labour backbencher Afzal Khan, who seeks to reverse the plans to reduce the size of the House of Commons from 650 MPs to 600, but equalise the size of constituencies based on population.

While Conservative MP Mark Harper, who backs a smaller Commons, said it would save 拢66m per year.
