Ealing was a parliamentary constituency centred on the Ealing district of west London. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the UK Parliament, 1885–1945. In common with metropolitan areas the seat saw major population increase. Until 1918 it included Chiswick, Acton within the County of London, and part of Hanwell in the rump of dwindling Middlesex.
Boundaries
- 1885–1918: The civil parishes of Ealing, Acton, Greenford, Chiswick and Perivale and part of that of Hanwell.
- 1918–1945: The Municipal Borough of Ealing (as it stood in 1918, being Ealing, ignoring 1926 succession to the former urban districts of Greenford (including the parishes of Perivale and West Twyford) and Hanwell).
History
The constituency was created by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 for the 1885 general election, and abolished for the 1945 general election. It was then replaced by the new Ealing East and Ealing West constituencies.
