''Not to be confused with the Richmond constituency in Yorkshire.'' Richmond was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Richmond, which is in the north-western part of the historic county of Surrey and (since 1965) in Greater London. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system. The name of the constituency was simply 'Richmond', but most publications added a reference to Surrey in order to distinguish it from the similarly named constituency in North Yorkshire. == History == The constituency was created by the Representation of the People Act 1918 for the 1918 general election. The area had formerly been covered by the northern part of the Kingston division of the Parliamentary county of Surrey. From April 1965 the constituency formed part of Greater London. It was the eastern half of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The Second Periodical Review of the Parliamentary Boundary Commission for England in 1969 formally made "a slight modification in the names to conform with our policy of using the London borough name as a prefix", so that the constituency was formally known as 'Richmond upon Thames, Richmond'. No boundary changes were made.〔"Boundary Commission for England", Second Periodical Report, Cmnd. 4084, p. 24.〕 The seat was abolished for the 1983 general election, when it was replaced by the new Richmond and Barnes constituency. 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「Richmond (Surrey) (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
