Boundaries
This constituency covered the northern part of Bradford.
The boundaries of the constituency before it was replaced by Bradford East were based on the electoral wards of Bolton, Bowling, Bradford Moor, Idle, Eccleshill & Undercliffe before the local government boundary changes which took effect in 2004.
Following the review of parliamentary representation in West Yorkshire by the Boundary Commission for England, Bradford was significantly altered, and the resulting constituency was renamed as Bradford East, with effect from the 2010 general election.
