Description

Nord's 4th constituency covers the north and western portions of the city of Lille as well as the town of Quesnoy-sur-Deûle which lies close to the border with Belgium.

The seat has been held by parties of the right since 1988 and by Marc-Philippe Daubresse since 1990. As Marc-Philippe Daubresse has been called up to serve in the government on two occasions, firstly under Jean-Pierre Raffarin and then under François Fillon, his chosen substitute Jacques Houssin has also represented the seat during that period.
