Ealing East (UK Parliament constituency)


Ealing East was one of two and a minority of a third constituency covering the Municipal Borough of Ealing in Middlesex, 1945 – 1950. It included the town centre and in terms of local government content became, after its abolition, part of west London in 1965 at which time the borough expanded further to the east and west.
Its voters returned one member to the House of Commons of the UK Parliament using the first past the post system.
Its single election was the general election of 1945, a landslide for Clement Attlee leading the Labour Party, at which the seat de facto re-elected Frank Sanderson, a Conservative who had represented the seat's main forebear, Ealing.

History
