Hertford and Stevenage was a parliamentary constituency in Hertfordshire, which returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from February 1974 until it was abolished for the 1983 general election.
Boundaries
The Municipal Borough of Hertford, the Urban Districts of Stevenage and Ware, and the Rural District of Hertford (the civil parishes of Aston, Bayford, Bengeo Rural, Bengeo Urban, Benington, Bramfield, Brickendon Liberty, Brickendon Rural, Datchworth, Hertingfordbury, Little Amwell, Little Berkhamsted, St Andrew Rural, St John Rural, Sacombe, Stapleford, Tewin, Walkern, and Watton-at-Stone).
Hertford and its rural district had previously been in the Hertford constituency, Stevenage in Hitchin and Ware in Hertfordshire East. After being used for only three general elections, a further round of boundary changes in 1983 saw Hertford and Stevenage abolished, with Hertford and Ware joining Bishop's Stortford in Hertford and Stortford while the remainder of the seat formed the basis of the new Stevenage constituency.
