Ealing (UK Parliament constituency)


Ealing was a parliamentary constituency centred on the Ealing district of west London. It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the UK Parliament, 1885-1945. In common with metropolitan areas the seat saw major population increase and was weighty from the outset in terms of population in 1885. Until 1918 it included Chiswick, Acton within the County of London, and part of Hanwell in the rump of dwindling Middlesex.
