Harrow West is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament which has returned a Labour Party MP Gareth Thomas in the four General Elections from 1997. ==Boundaries== 1945-1950: The Urban District of Harrow wards of Harrow on the Hill and Greenhill, Headstone, Pinner North, Pinner South, Roxeth, and West Harrow, and part of Harrow Weald ward. 1950-1955: The Urban District of Harrow wards of Pinner North, Pinner South, and Roxeth, and part of Harrow Weald ward. 1955-1983: The Urban District of Harrow wards of Pinner North, Pinner South, and Roxeth. 1983-2010: The London Borough of Harrow wards of Harrow on the Hill, Hatch End, Headstone North, Headstone South, Pinner, Pinner West, Rayners Lane, Ridgeway, Roxbourne, and Roxeth. 2010-present: The London Borough of Harrow wards of Greenhill, Harrow on the Hill, Headstone North, Headstone South, Marlborough, Rayners Lane, Roxbourne, Roxeth, and West Harrow. The constituency was created for the first time at the 1945 General Election when the Harrow constituency was split into new seats of Harrow East and Harrow West. It was reduced in size for the 1950 General Election when a third Harrow seat, Harrow Central, was created. The Boundary Commission review before the 1983 General Election saw the London Borough of Harrow contained in two seats, resulting in Harrow West gaining parts of the abolished Harrow Central. Unlike Harrow East, it had always been won by the Conservative Party until Labour's landslide in 1997 when a swing of 17.5% was the eighth highest swing in that election, and it was the safest Conservative seat to be lost to Labour.〔(largest swings at each parliamentary election )〕 The constituency produced another better than average result for Labour in 2001 with a swing from Conservative to Labour of 5.4% or 5.5%, a pro-Labour swing bettered in only four seats and in 2005 a challenge by Mike Freer produced a pro-Conservative swing of 4.5%.〔 The area is known for the famous Harrow School and also includes Harrow town centre. Labour incumbent Tony McNulty lost the neighbouring Harrow East in 2010 to the Conservative Party, but Gareth Thomas retained his seat in Harrow West with a reduced majority. 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「Harrow West (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
