Windsor /ˈwɪnzə/ is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005 by Adam Afriyie of the Conservative Party. ==Boundaries== The constituency covers the town of Windsor and various portions of the surrounding area, in Berkshire. Before 1868: The parliamentary borough of Windsor was based upon the easternmost town in Berkshire in South East England, which grew up around Windsor Castle and the narrowly defined electorate could also vote for the county representatives. 1868–1918: The boundaries of the parliamentary borough were extended by the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1868 (31 & 32 Vict., c. 46). The north boundary of the constituency was on the River Thames, which was then the border between Buckinghamshire which had a seat of the same name and Berkshire, likewise the rest of the borough adjoined the Berkshire county constituency. Between 1885–1918 the seat to the north of the Thames was the Wycombe division of Buckinghamshire and the other neighbouring constituency was the Wokingham division of Berkshire. 1918–1950: The parliamentary borough was abolished and replaced by a county division named Windsor. The local government areas (as they existed in 1918) which comprised the constituency were the Municipal Boroughs of New Windsor, and Maidenhead, with the Rural Districts of Cookham, Easthampstead, Windsor and a part of Wokingham. 1950–1974: The constituency was reduced in size by the Representation of the People Act 1948, so it comprised the Municipal Boroughs of New Windsor and Maidenhead, with the Rural Districts of Cookham and Windsor. In 1974 the same area less Eton and Bracknell was included in a new constituency named Windsor and Maidenhead; this area plus Eton became the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead established in 1974. 1997–2010: In 1997 the Windsor constituency was recreated to sever off the expanded town of Maidenhead to the northwest and with it Cookham. Instead Windsor was joined by Eton and part of Slough Borough Council north of the Thames. Wards were: from the Borough of Bracknell Forest: Ascot, Cranbourne and St Mary's; from the Borough of Slough : Foxborough ward. The remainder of the seat, in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, comprised the wards of Bray, Castle, Clewer North, Clewer South, Datchet, Eton North and South, Eton West, Horton and Wraysbury, Old Windsor, Park, Sunningdale and South Ascot, Sunninghill and Trinity.〔Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 1995 (SI 1995/1626)〕 In 1998 there was a small re-alignment of county boundaries in the north east corner of Berkshire. This transferred to Slough a small polling district from Surrey and another from Buckinghamshire to form Colnbrook and Poyle〔The Parliamentary Constituencies (England) (Miscellaneous Changes) Order 1998 (SI 1998/3152).〕 This new Slough ward of (since renamed Colnbrook with Poyle) was selected for the Windsor constituency, though involved two polling districts (the typically three-four subdivisions of wards). 2010–present: the constituency has the electoral wards:- *Ascot, Binfield with Warfield, Warfield Harvest Rise, and Winkfield and Cranbourne ''from the Borough of Bracknell Forest'': *Colnbrook with Poyle ''from the Borough of Slough'': *Ascot and Cheapside, Castle Without, Clewer East, Clewer North, Clewer South, Datchet, Eton and Castle, Eton Wick, Horton and Wraysbury, Old Windsor, Park, Sunningdale, Sunninghill and South Ascot wards.〔(Legislation ) Parliamentary Constituencies (England) Order 2007 (SI 2007/1681)〕''from the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead'' 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「Windsor (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
