You'd need to take into account the vagaries of the national variations: not only are there the assorted nationalist parties, you've got anomalies like Labour refusing to permit anyone in Ulster to join (let alone stand for) the party
( ... )
Of course, for _actual_ proportional representation, the seats themselves should arguably be in proportion to either the votes cast or to the base population or to the registered electorate.
If you go with ~650 seats overall for the UK, then by current population you'd get something like Northern Ireland 19 (currently 18), Wales 32 (currently 40), Scotland 56 (currently 59), England 543 (currently 533).
