Boundaries

Following their review of parliamentary representation, the Boundary Commission for England created this seat. Neighbouring constituencies have had consequential boundary changes, with Erewash and Amber Valley two of the most affected.

The constituency is made up of the following electoral wards:

  • Belper Central; Belper East; Belper North; Belper South; Duffield in the borough of Amber Valley
  • Allestree, Oakwood and Spondon in the City of Derby
  • Little Eaton and Breadsall; Ockbrook and Borrowash; Stanley; West Hallam and Dale Abbey in the borough of Erewash

    • Elections in the 1900s

  • Hancock, who was sponsored by the Derbyshire Miners Association was chosen by the local Liberal Association as their candidate. During the campaign he agreed that he would sign the Labour Party constitution, so some records describe him as the Labour party candidate.
