Multi-member Constituencies In The Parliament Of The United Kingdom
Multi-member constituencies in the UK Parliament (and its predecessor bodies in the component parts of the United Kingdom) existed from the earliest era of elected representation in Parliament until the last of them were abolished prior to the United Kingdom general election, 1950, with the passing of the Representation of the People Act 1948. Since 1950, all members of the United Kingdom House of Commons have been elected from single member constituencies.
