Birmingham West was a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP), elected by the first-past-the-post voting system. It was created upon the abolition of the 3-seat Birmingham constituency in 1885 and abolished in 1950. == Boundaries == Before 1885 the city of Birmingham had been a three-member constituency (see Birmingham (UK Parliament constituency) for further details). Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 the parliamentary borough of Birmingham was split into seven single-member divisions, one of which was Birmingham West. In the 1918 redistribution of parliamentary seats, the Representation of the People Act 1918 provided for twelve Birmingham divisions - one of which was designated as the West Birmingham constituency. In 1945 one of the other Birmingham seats was split in two, as it had over 100,000 electors, but that change did not affect the other divisions. The constituency included, in 1918, the then Birmingham City Council ward of St. Paul's and parts of the wards of All Saints' and Lozells. In the redistribution which took effect in the United Kingdom general election, 1950, the Representation of the People Act 1948 redivided Birmingham into thirteen constituencies. The West division was abolished. St. Paul's and Lozells wards became part of Birmingham Aston. All Saints' ward was made part of Birmingham Ladywood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Birmingham West (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
