Boundaries

[edit]

Historic

[edit]

The historic constituency was created under theHouse of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949 and first used in the1950 general election.^[3]

As created in 1950, the constituency was one of two covering thecounty of Dunbarton. The other wasEast Dunbartonshire. The two new constituencies replaced the earlier constituencies ofDunbartonshire andDumbarton Burghs.^[3]

West Dunbartonshire covered the Helensburgh, Old Kilpatrick, and Vale of Leven districts of the county and the burghs ofCove and Kilcreggan,Dumbarton andHelensburgh.^[3]

For the1951 general election the constituency boundaries were adjusted to take account of a change to the boundaries of the Old Kilpatrick district.^[3]

The results of the First Periodical Review of theBoundary Commission were implemented for the1955 general election, but there was no change to the boundaries of West Dunbartonshire, and the boundaries of 1951 and 1955 were used also in thegeneral elections of1959,1964,1966 and1970.^[3]

The results of the Second Periodical Review were implemented for theFebruary 1974 general election. The review took account of population growth in the county of Dunbarton, caused by overspill from the city ofGlasgow into the new town ofCumbernauld and elsewhere,^{[citation needed]} and West Dunbartonshire became one of three constituencies covering the county. The other two were East Dunbartonshire andCentral Dunbartonshire. West Dunbartonshire now covered the Helensburgh and Vale of Leven districts and the burghs of Cove and Kilcreggan, Dumbarton and Helensburgh.^[3]

February 1974 boundaries were used also for the general elections ofOctober 1974 and1979.^{[citation needed]}

In 1975, under theLocal Government (Scotland) Act 1973, Scottish counties were abolished in favour ofregions and districts andislands council areas, and the county of Dunbarton was divided between several districts of the newregion of Strathclyde. The Third Periodical Review took account of newlocal government boundaries and the results were implemented for the1983 general election.^{[citation needed]}

Current

[edit]

Map of boundaries from 2024

2005–2024: The existing constituency was created for the 2005 general election as a result of theFifth Periodical Review of theBoundary Commission for Scotland. It covered and was entirely within theWest Dunbartonshire council area.^[4] The area of the constituency was previously divided between theDumbarton andClydebank and Milngavie constituencies.^[4] It includes the population centres ofClydebank,Dumbarton andAlexandria.

2024–present: Under the2023 review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the2024 general election, the constituency was expanded slightly to the east to include a small part of theGlasgow City Council ward ofGarscadden/Scotstounhill.
