The second major reform of Commons' seats occurred in three territory-specific Acts in 1867–68: <ul><li>the <a href="/wiki/Reform_Act_1867" title="Reform Act 1867">Reform Act 1867</a> applied to English and Welsh constituencies</li> <li>the <a href="/wiki/Representation_of_the_People_(Scotland)_Act_1868" title="Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1868">Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1868</a> applied to Scottish constituencies and gave Scotland an additional quota of seats</li> <li>the <a href="/wiki/Representation_of_the_People_(Ireland)_Act_1868" title="Representation of the People (Ireland) Act 1868">Representation of the People (Ireland) Act 1868</a> applied to Irish constituencies.</li></ul> The latter United Kingdom set of Acts had fallen short of the <a href="/wiki/Chartism" title="Chartism">Chartist</a> aim to enfranchise and to equalise the electorates. Electoral quotas diverged and the gap by 1885 widened; most starkly in the retention of boroughs of dubious size and a limited attempt at creation of new urban boroughs. In reductions these previous reforms had rather merged into their surroundings those boroughs (historic towns) having fewer than 10,000 inhabitants as at the 1861 census.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> In a de-radicalising move (a policy of maintaining representation of the minority business interests or the minority party) <a href="/wiki/Limited_voting" title="Limited voting">Limited voting</a> was adopted in a few of the largest cities. They were given three MPs but "no person shall vote for more than two candidates".<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> As a result, the net partisan impact of these cities tended to be counterbalanced: for example, a borough formerly represented by two Liberals was now usually represented by two Liberals and one Conservative. In a Commons vote on party lines, the Conservative neutralised one of the Liberals, so that the borough counted for one party-based vote albeit having greater and slightly more equalised non-partisan local issue representation. By contrast the mid-size boroughs with two members such as the new creations – wherever they so happened to have two MPs of the same party – produced twice the voting power in the House as such cities.<a href="#cite_note-lowell-3">[3]</a> By the 1880s, continued industrial growth and resulting population movements had resulted in an increased imbalance between the constituencies in terms of the numbers of MPs and the population.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Third_Reform_Bill">The Third Reform Bill</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Redistribution_of_Seats_Act_1885&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The Third Reform Bill">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/William_Ewart_Gladstone" title="William Ewart Gladstone">William Ewart Gladstone</a>, leading a <a href="/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)" title="Liberal Party (UK)">Liberal</a> government, introduced a <a href="/wiki/Representation_of_the_People_Act_1884" title="Representation of the People Act 1884">Representation of the People Bill</a> in 1884, which sought to greatly extend the franchise but not to alter the boundaries of constituencies. The Liberals had a large majority in the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_House_of_Commons" class="mw-redirect" title="United Kingdom House of Commons">House of Commons</a>, and the measure passed through the House easily. The <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_House_of_Lords" class="mw-redirect" title="United Kingdom House of Lords">House of Lords</a>, on the other hand, was dominated by the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative Party</a>. The Conservative leader, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Gascoyne-Cecil,_3rd_Marquess_of_Salisbury" title="Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury">Lord Salisbury</a>, was opposed to the bill.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> The majority of the Conservative party's MPs were elected by the counties, with the Liberals being electorally strong in the boroughs. He realised that the bill's extension of household suffrage into the counties would enfranchise many rural voters such as coalminers and agricultural labourers who were likely to vote for the Liberals. This, he claimed, would lead to "the absolute effacement of the Conservative Party". Salisbury hoped to use the Conservative majority in the Lords to block the bill and force Gladstone to seek a dissolution of Parliament before the reforms could be enacted. The Lords duly rejected the bill and returned it to the Commons, provoking outrage among the Radical wing of the Liberals. A campaign organised around the slogan "The Peers Against the People" called for reform or abolition of the Lords if they rejected the bill a second time.<a href="#cite_note-Adelman-8">[8]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_"Arlington_Street_Compact"">The "Arlington Street Compact"</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Redistribution_of_Seats_Act_1885&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The "Arlington Street Compact"">edit</a>]</div> During October 1884 <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a> intervened in what was rapidly becoming a constitutional crisis, urging the party leaders to meet and break the deadlock. Negotiations duly started at Salisbury's London home in Arlington Street, <a href="/wiki/Westminster" title="Westminster">Westminster</a>, between the Conservative leader and <a href="/wiki/Sir_Charles_Dilke,_2nd_Baronet" title="Sir Charles Dilke, 2nd Baronet">Sir Charles Dilke</a>, a member of Gladstone's cabinet. Lord Salisbury agreed to allow the reform bill to pass on condition that a bill to redistribute parliamentary seats was also enacted; the two parties reached an agreement, the "Arlington Street Compact", whereby the bulk of MPs would be elected in single-member constituencies. He calculated that this would minimise the adverse effect on the Conservatives of the extension of the vote: dividing the counties would allow Liberal-voting and Conservative-voting districts to be separated. The division of boroughs would allow the suburban areas of towns to be represented separately from the inner cities, allowing the growth of "Villa Toryism".<a href="#cite_note-Adelman-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-McLean-9">[9]</a> Dilke, a member of the Radical (socially progressive) wing of the Liberal Party, also favoured the division of boroughs to weaken the influence of the Whig faction in the party. Before 1885 many existing two-member boroughs one Whig and one Radical were nominated by agreement, often leading to uncontested elections.<a href="#cite_note-Adelman-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-McLean-9">[9]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_boundary_commissions">The boundary commissions</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Redistribution_of_Seats_Act_1885&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: The boundary commissions">edit</a>]</div> Three boundary commissions were appointed in late 1884, one for England and Wales, one for Scotland and one for Ireland.<a href="#cite_note-comm-10">[10]</a> Each commission was given similar instructions.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In dividing the counties they were to use <a href="/wiki/Ordnance_Survey" title="Ordnance Survey">Ordnance Survey</a> maps and other documents in order to determine the boundaries of divisions. In doing so they were to ensure that each division of a county was to have an equal population "so far as practicable". In addition they were instructed "in all those cases where there are populous localities of an urban character to include them in one and the same division, unless this cannot be done without grave inconvenience, and involving boundaries of a very irregular and objectionable character". Subject to these rules, the divisions were to be as compact as possible and should be based on "well known local areas" such as <a href="/wiki/Petty_sessional_division" title="Petty sessional division">petty sessional divisions</a> or other aggregations of parishes. If necessary, an individual parish or parishes could be added to existing areas in order to equalise population, but under no circumstances was a parish to be divided. The county divisions were to be named after an "important town or place" within it, "preference being given to any merged borough or boroughs, or when it consists mainly of a well-known area, from that area". When the commissioners had devised a scheme of divisions for a county the details were to be advertised in the local press. A date would then be announced when one of the commissioners would attend at "a principal town" in the county to hear objections or proposed alterations.<a href="#cite_note-comm-10">[10]</a> The procedure for boroughs (or <a href="/wiki/Burgh" title="Burgh">burghs</a> in Scotland) was similar. Firstly the commissioners were to determine whether the present boundaries, or the boundaries proposed in the bill, embraced "the whole of the population which ought to be included within the borough". They could decide if an area formed a "community of interest" with the town and should be included within the borough boundaries. Where suburban areas had a sufficiently large population and distinct identity they might form a county division rather than be included in the borough. If boroughs were extended, existing "well-established" boundaries were to be used if possible. Where boroughs were to be divided, the population of each division was to be approximately equal, and "special regard" was to be had to the "pursuits of the population".<a href="#cite_note-comm-10">[10]</a> This was clearly understood as meaning that <a href="/wiki/Working_class" title="Working class">working class</a> and <a href="/wiki/Middle_class" title="Middle class">middle class</a> parts of towns were to be separated where possible.<a href="#cite_note-Adelman-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-McLean-9">[9]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Passage_through_Parliament">Passage through Parliament</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Redistribution_of_Seats_Act_1885&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Passage through Parliament">edit</a>]</div> The Bill was introduced to the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_House_of_Commons" class="mw-redirect" title="United Kingdom House of Commons">House of Commons</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Prime Minister of the United Kingdom">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/wiki/William_Ewart_Gladstone" title="William Ewart Gladstone">William Gladstone</a> on 1 December 1884.<a href="#cite_note-timesedit-11">[11]</a> The Bill was seen as a compromise measure, and did not include <a href="/wiki/Proportional_representation" title="Proportional representation">proportional representation</a>. This led to unrest among the Liberals. <a href="/wiki/Leonard_Courtney,_1st_Baron_Courtney_of_Penwith" title="Leonard Courtney, 1st Baron Courtney of Penwith">Leonard Courteney</a>, <a href="/wiki/Financial_Secretary_to_the_Treasury" title="Financial Secretary to the Treasury">Financial Secretary to the Treasury</a>, felt forced to resign his post and the party whip.<a href="#cite_note-timesedit-11">[11]</a> Gladstone had held a meeting with Liberal MPs earlier in the day at the <a href="/wiki/Foreign_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="Foreign Office">Foreign Office</a>, where he defended the bill. He stated that far from being a compromise it was very much a government bill, and that the discussions with the opposition had been conducted with "no party bias".<a href="#cite_note-meeting-12">[12]</a> The bill received its second reading on 4 December 1884, and was then sent forward to the committee stage, which was to commence on 19 February 1885. The delay was to allow the boundary commissions to complete their work, with the boundaries and names of the new constituencies to be included as the schedules of the final Act.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> In committee few changes were made to the boundaries recommended by the commissioners. However the committee felt that the proposed names for many of the divisions were unfamiliar, and preferred to use what they termed "geographical" names incorporating a compass point. A compromise was made where both were incorporated in the names of many of the constituencies: thus the seat officially called the "Northern or Biggleswade Division of Bedfordshire" was informally referred to as "Biggleswade", the "Biggleswade Division", "Northern Bedfordshire" or "North Bedfordshire".<a href="#cite_note-commons1-14">[14]</a> The act received <a href="/wiki/Royal_Assent" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Assent">Royal Assent</a> on 25 June, and the provisions of both the redistribution and <a href="/wiki/Representation_of_the_People_Act_1884" title="Representation of the People Act 1884">representation</a> acts first came into use at the <a href="/wiki/1885_United_Kingdom_general_election" title="1885 United Kingdom general election">1885 general election</a>.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Provisions">Provisions</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Redistribution_of_Seats_Act_1885&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Provisions">edit</a>]</div> The committee's work coupled with the Arlington Street Compact resulted a major redistribution under the Act as follows: <ul><li>Parliamentary boroughs (later known as borough constituencies): <ul><li>All these units with a population of 15,000 or less ceased to have separate representation and were merged into a wider division (constituency) of their county – namely 79 constituencies were disenfranchised.</li> <li>Six other boroughs were also merged into the county divisions: four that included large extents of countryside (<a href="/wiki/Aylesbury_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Aylesbury (UK Parliament constituency)">Aylesbury</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cricklade_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Cricklade (UK Parliament constituency)">Cricklade</a>, <a href="/wiki/East_Retford_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="East Retford (UK Parliament constituency)">East Retford</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_Shoreham_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="New Shoreham (UK Parliament constituency)">Shoreham</a>) and two that had been disenfranchised for corruption (<a href="/wiki/Macclesfield_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Macclesfield (UK Parliament constituency)">Macclesfield</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sandwich_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Sandwich (UK Parliament constituency)">Sandwich</a>).<a href="#cite_note-timesedit-11">[11]</a></li> <li>Those with populations between 15,000 and 50,000 were to have their representation reduced from two MPs to one, namely 76 constituencies.</li> <li>Those with populations of more than 50,000 (23 in all) continued to be a set of two-member constituencies</li> <li>The <a href="/wiki/City_of_London_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="City of London (UK Parliament constituency)">City of London</a> would have its representation reduced to two MPs and remain undivided</li> <li>The Universities of <a href="/wiki/Oxford_University_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Oxford University (UK Parliament constituency)">Oxford</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cambridge_University_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Cambridge University (UK Parliament constituency)">Cambridge</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Dublin_University_(constituency)" title="Dublin University (constituency)">Dublin</a> would each return two MPs.<a href="#cite_note-lowell-3">[3]</a></li></ul></li> <li>Two low-population English counties lost an MP: <a href="/wiki/Rutland_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Rutland (UK Parliament constituency)">Rutland</a> was reduced to one MP and <a href="/wiki/Herefordshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="Herefordshire (UK Parliament constituency)">Herefordshire</a> to two MPs.</li> <li>The number of seats in the Commons was increased from 652 to 670, inclusive of <a href="/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a>.<a href="#cite_note-15">[a]</a></li></ul> Apart from boundary changes, approximately 160 seats were new (or "liberated" as Gladstone described it) in England and Wales.
