abstract
  • This is a list of constituencies returning members of parliament (MPs) to the parliament of the United Kingdom from the coming into effect of the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 until the Representation of the People Act 1918. The 1885 act attempted, wherever possible, to create single-member constituencies with roughly equal population. Previously parliamentary boroughs had generally been represented by two MPs, with a few having more than that number. The legislation allowed parliamentary boroughs to have multiple members, but divided the boroughs into single-member "divisions". The divisions were distinct constituencies although the name off the parent borough formed a part of their formal title. Thus the constituency generally known as Dulwich was offficially "The Dulwich Division of the Borough of Camberwell" or "Camberwell, Dulwich Division". The "Metropolis" or area administered by the Metropolitan Board of Works, became the County of London in 1889, and the parliamentary constituencies were used as electoral divisions for elections to the London County Council, with two councillors elected for each constituency. Details of these can be found in the article List of members of the London County Council 1889–1919.
