Carlisle is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by John Stevenson of the Conservative Party.[n 2]
History
Carlisle has existed as a seat since the Model Parliament in 1295. It was represented by Labour Party MPs from 1964 until 2010, although the Conservative candidate came within 2% of taking the seat in 1983 and 1987, and has been held by John Stevenson of the Conservative Party since the 2010 General Election.
Boundaries
The Carlisle constituency covers the most populated part of the City of Carlisle district in Cumbria, including the city of Carlisle itself. It also covers the rural area of the district to the south and west of the city, including the village of Dalston. The remaining parts of the district are in the Penrith and The Border constituency.
Boundary review
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Cumbria, the Boundary Commission for England modified the boundaries of the Carlisle constituency, as a consequence of population changes. The altered constituency fought at the 2010 general election was formed from the following wards:
- Belah, Belle Vue, Botcherby, Burgh, Castle, Currock, Dalston, Denton Holme, Harraby, Morton, St Aidans, Stanwix Urban, Upperby, Wetheral, and Yewdale.
