Upper Bann is a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom House of Commons. The current Member of Parliament for Upper Bann is David Simpson.〔(David Simpson triumphs in Upper Bann ) BBC News, 7 May 2010〕 ==Boundaries== 1983-1997: The District of Craigavon; and the District of Banbridge wards of Ballydown, Central, Edenderry, Gilford, Lawrencetown, Loughbrickland, and Seapatrick. 1997-present: The District of Craigavon; and the District of Banbridge wards of Ballydown, Banbridge West, Edenderry, Fort, Gilford, Lawrencetown, Loughbrickland, Seapatrick, and The Cut. The seat was created in boundary changes in 1983, as part of an expansion of Northern Ireland's constituencies from 12 to 17, and was predominantly made up from parts of Armagh and South Down. It was barely changed in further revisions in 1995 and covers the entirety of the district of Craigavon as well as part of Banbridge. In 2005, the Boundary Commission published provisional recommendations for modifying the boundaries of constituencies in Northern Ireland. It proposed transferring two small parts of Upper Bann to South Down and Lagan Valley. Following public consultation, the Commission revised its proposals which were finally passed through Parliament by means of the Northern Ireland Parliamentary Constituencies Order.〔(The Parliamentary Constituencies (Northern Ireland) Order 2008 ) Office of Public Sector Information〕 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「Upper Bann (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
