FILE PHOTO Jeremy Hunt. See SWNS story SWLShunt; New chancellor Jeremy Hunt looks set to lose his seat at the next general election - because of a shake-up of constituency boundaries. The Boundary Commission for England has today (Tuesday) published new revised proposals for constituencies across the country. It has opened a final month-long consultation - giving the public one last opportunity to send in their views. Among the most radical proposals are plans to carve up Hunt's South West Surrey constituency, and create a new cross-border ‘Farnham and Bordon’ constituency, also incorporating Haslemere and Liphook. The remaining portion of South West Surrey would form a new ‘Godalming and Ash’ constituency, incorporating Cranleigh to the south and Milford to the west.
