Harrow West is aconstituency[n 1][n 2] inGreater London created in 1945 and represented in theHouse of Commons of theUK Parliament. Until1997, it only returnedConservative MPs; since then, it has elected theLabour Co-operative MPGareth Thomas on a fluctuating majority. Since2010, this has been bolstered by the loss ofPinner from the seat and the gain of a favourable ward for Labour fromHarrow East.

Constituency profile

[edit]

The area covers the largely Georgian conservation area on a stand-alone, partly park-lined hill which hosts the famousHarrow School; it also includes the urban Harrow town centre, as well as suburban streets of homes with good-sized gardens and well-kept small parklands. The seat has fast London Underground links to the city centre and rail services, few dual carriageways and few high speed roads. In 1981, 13.3% of the constiuency were non-White.[2]

Political history

[edit]
Summary of results

TheLabour Party have held the seat since 1997, with theConservative Party second-placed in each election. The 2015 result made the seat the 215th safest of the party's 232 seats (by majority percentage), and thus the 18th mostmarginal seat.[3] Thomas's majority has ranged from 2.3% in 1997 to 26.4% in 2017.

Unlike Harrow East, it had always been won by the Conservative Party until Labour's landslide in 1997, when aswing of 17.5% was the eighth-highest swing in that election; it was the safest Tory seat lost to Labour.[4] Its electorate produced another better than average result for Labour in2001, with a swing from the Conservatives to Labour of 5.4%, bettered in only four seats out of 650. The 2005 challenge by future Conservative MPMike Freer produced a pro-Conservative swing of 4.5%.[4]

The 2010 inceptive seat saw a notional swing to the Tories in line with that nationally of 5.7%; in overall outcome the incumbent Labour MP's swing increased. The Harrow West and East seats now present as lessmarginal than they were in previous decades.

After a 1.1% swing to the Tories in 2015, the seat swung to Labour in 2017 by around 11%, with a local record number of votes for their incumbent candidate. At 34.4%, the Conservative vote share was the lowest in the seat's history, but the party received more votes in 2017 than in 2001 and 2010.

Other parties

UKIP,Liberal Democrat andGreen Party candidates won less than 5% of the vote in 2015 and 2017, therefore forfeiting theirdeposits.

Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency was created for the1945 general election when theHarrow constituency was split into the new seats ofHarrow East and Harrow West. It was reduced in size for the1950 general election, when a third Harrow seat,Harrow Central, was created. The Boundary Commission review before the1983 general election saw theLondon Borough of Harrow contained in two seats, resulting in Harrow West gaining parts of the abolished Harrow Central.

Reviewing such representation inNorth London, theBoundary Commission for England (de facto), as is custom agreed by Parliament, altered the area's limits to avoidmalapportionment, as London's housing and rates of occupancy have altered. The western border district, town or neighbourhood ofPinner went to a new cross-Borough seat,Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner, making its source, based on a ward breakdown of the last result, and mirrored by local election results, a stronger seat for Labour; this was coupled with the inclusion of Marlborough ward which had returned many Labour councillors sinceWorld War II.

Current

[edit]

Following the2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the2024 general election, the constituency is composed of the following wards of the London Borough of Harrow:

Wealdstone was transferred in fromHarrow East. Other minor changes to align boundaries with new ward structure.
