Liverpool Scotland (UK Parliament constituency) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Liverpool Scotland (UK Parliament constituency)
Liverpool Scotland was a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. It was located within the city of Liverpool in England, centred on Scotland Road. The constituency was created under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, when the former Liverpool constituency was split into nine divisions. It was abolished for the February 1974 general election, when it was merged with Liverpool Exchange to form the Liverpool Scotland Exchange constituency. ==Members of Parliament==
Liverpool Scotland was characterized by having two MPs of exceptionally long service. T.P. O'Connor served in the constituency for 44 years until his death in 1929, becoming Father of the House in 1918. It was the only constituency outside the island of Ireland ever to return an Irish Nationalist Party MP, and O'Connor continued to be re-elected in Liverpool under this label unopposed, despite the Irish Free State achieving Dominion status in 1922. He was succeeded by the winner of the by-election, David Logan, who served for a further 35 years until his own death in 1964. He was never Father of the House, but he was its oldest sitting member from 1950 until his death.
