Richmond (1918–1983) was aparliamentary constituency centred on the town ofRichmond. The seat mirrored for its first 47 years a small northern projection ofSurrey (betweenMiddlesex and theCounty of London). For the final 18 years its area, in local government, fell into the new county ofGreater London.

Each winning candidate was a Unionist or from the alliedConservative Party.

Formally and informally on a local basisRichmond constituency; national publications usually added a reference to Surrey to distinguishRichmond (Yorks) (UK Parliament constituency) (1585–2024).

History

[edit]

The constituency was created by theRepresentation of the People Act 1918 for the1918 general election. The area had been roughly the northern part ofKingston (also in Surrey).

From April 1965 the constituency formed part ofGreater London. It was the eastern half of theLondon Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The Second Periodical Review of the Parliamentary Boundary Commission for England in 1969 formally made "a slight modification in the names to conform with our policy of using the London borough name as a prefix", so that the constituency was formally known as 'Richmond upon Thames, Richmond'. Due to its prolix this was never used in the popular press. No boundary changes were made.[1]

The seat was abolished for the1983 general election; replaced byRichmond and Barnes which took in a small part of former Middlesex, the local government electoral ward of EastTwickenham.

Single-member seat

[edit]

Not based on an ancient borough or key town, it reflected the schema ofthe third Great Reform three decades before its creation, continued by the Fourth Reform Act,Lloyd George'sRepresentation of the People Act 1918 by returning oneMember of Parliament (MP) to theHouse of Commons of theUK Parliament, elected byfirst past the post.

Boundaries

[edit]

In 1918 the seat was created as aborough constituency of Surrey. It was in the north-west corner of the much-reduced county (in the 1880s) and adjoined the south bank of theRiver Thames. It comprised theMunicipal Borough of Richmond which includedKew andPetersham, as well as the Urban Districts ofBarnes andHam.

In 1932 the BarnesUrban District was upgraded to amunicipal borough. In the following year most of Ham was incorporated in the Municipal Borough of Richmond. These were local government reconfigurations.

In the redistribution of parliamentary seats which took effect in 1950, this seat was little changed. It was defined in theRepresentation of the People Act 1948 as comprising the Municipal Boroughs of Barnes and Richmond. There were some minor boundary changes to the two Municipal Boroughs, which affected the parliamentary seat from 1964 (perS.I. 1960–465).

Incorporated in Greater London from 1965, the redistribution of parliamentary seats which took effect in 1974 did not change the constituency boundaries. It did however recast the definition of the boundaries, which set the constituency as comprising the following wards of the London Borough:Barnes,East Sheen,Ham,Petersham,Kew,Mortlake, Palewell,Richmond Hill and Richmond Town. The constituency shared boundaries with theRichmond electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.
