Aylesbury is a constituency in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament,[n 1] currently represented by Laura Kyrke-Smith, a member of the Labour Party.

Constituency profile

[edit]

Aylesbury expanded significantly after World War II, in a diverse way with a similar proportion of this recent development being social housing estates as private estates.

Workless claimants who were registered jobseekers were in November 2012 lower than the regional average of 2.4% and national average of 3.8%, at 2.2% of the population based on a statistical compilation by The Guardian.[3]

Whereas the average house price is higher than the national average, in the Aylesbury Vale authority (which largely overlaps) this in the first quarter of 2013 was £262,769, the lowest of the four authorities in Buckinghamshire and this compares to the highest county average of £549,046 in South Bucks District.

History

[edit]

Early form

[edit]

The Parliamentary Borough of Aylesbury sent two MPs to the House of Commons of England from 1553 to 1707, then to the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and finally to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801.

The seat was a much narrower, generally urban borough with two-member status at Westminster from its grant of a limited franchise in 1553 until the passing of the Great Reform Act 1832.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Status: Repealed

In 1804, following the voiding of the election of the sitting MP, Robert Bent, for corruption, the franchise was extended by the Parliamentary Elections, Aylesbury Act 1804 (44 Geo. 3. c. 60) to the forty-shilling freeholders of the Three Hundreds of Aylesbury (Aylesbury, Risborough, and Stone).[12][14] Subsequently, the contents of the Parliamentary Borough were defined within the 1832 Reform Act itself as the Three Hundreds of Aylesbury.[15] This extended the seat to include Wendover and Princes Risborough.[16]

The borough continued to elect two MPs until its abolition by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 and transformation into a large county division, formally named the Mid or Aylesbury Division of Buckinghamshire. It was one of three divisions formed from the undivided three-member Parliamentary County of Buckinghamshire, the other two being the Northern or Buckingham Division and the Southern or Wycombe Division. As well as the areas previously represented by the abolished Borough, the reconstituted seat included Linslade to the north-east and Chesham to the south-east. Since then national boundary reviews have seen a gradual reduction in its physical size as its population has grown (see Boundaries Section below).

Political history

[edit]

The Conservative Party has held the seat from 1929 to 2024, and held it at the 2015 general election with a 50.7% share of the vote. The result made the seat the 133rd safest of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.[17] The closest result since 1929 but prior to 2024 was in 1966 when the Labour Party candidate fell 7.4% short of a majority.

In June 2016, an estimated 51.8% of local adults voting in the EU membership referendum chose to leave the European Union instead of to remain. This was matched in two January 2018 votes in Parliament by its MP.[18]

Frontbenchers

[edit]

David Lidington, the constituency's MP from 1992 until 2019, was the Secretary of State for Justice in Theresa May's cabinet since succeeding Liz Truss in the 2017 cabinet reshuffle, before becoming the effective First Secretary of State in the place of Damian Green in 2018's new year's reshuffle. During the premiership of David Cameron he served as Minister for Europe, campaigning unsuccessfully (in the constituency as well as the whole country) to remain in the EU. From 2007 to 2010 he had been his party's Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

MPs who have received honours

[edit]

Stanley Reed edited The Times of India from 1907 until 1924 and received correspondence from the major figures of India such as Mahatma Gandhi. In all he lived in India for fifty years. He was respected in the United Kingdom as an expert on Indian current affairs. He devised the sobriquet for Jaipur, 'the Pink City of India'.

Boundaries and boundary changes

[edit]

1885–1918

[edit]
  • The Sessional Divisions of Aylesbury, Chesham, and Linslade; and
  • Parts of the second Sessional Division of Desborough and the Sessional Division of Winslow.[19]
Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, 1918–45

1918–1945

[edit]
  • The Borough of Aylesbury;
  • The Urban Districts of Beaconsfield and Chesham;
  • The Rural District of Amersham;
  • The part of the Rural District of Aylesbury not included in the Buckingham Division;
  • The Rural District of Long Crendon parish of Towersey; and
  • The Rural District of Wycombe parishes of Bledlow, Bradenham, Ellesborough, Great and Little Hampden, Great and Little Kimble, Horsenden, Hughenden, Ilmer, Monks Risborough, Princes Risborough, Radnage, Saunderton, and Wendover.[20]

Linslade and Wing were transferred to the Buckingham Division and Amersham and Beaconsfield were transferred from the Wycombe Division.

1945–1950

[edit]

The House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1944 set up Boundaries Commissions to carry out periodic reviews of the distribution of parliamentary constituencies. It also authorised an initial review to subdivide abnormally large constituencies in time for the 1945 election.[21] This was implemented by the Redistribution of Seats Order 1945 under which Buckinghamshire was allocated an additional seat. As a consequence, the parts of the (revised) Rural District of Wycombe in the Aylesbury Division, including Hughenden and Princes Risborough (but not Wendover which had been moved from the Rural District of Wycombe to that of Aylesbury by the reorganisation of local authorities in Buckinghamshire), were transferred to Wycombe.

There were no further changes and the revised composition of the constituency, after taking account of changes to local authorities, was:

  • The Borough of Aylesbury;
  • The Urban Districts of Beaconsfield and Chesham;
  • The Rural District of Amersham;
  • Parts of the Rural Districts of Aylesbury and Wing; and
  • The part of the Rural District of Bullingdon in Buckinghamshire.[22]

1950–1974

[edit]
  • The Borough of Aylesbury;
  • The Urban District of Chesham;
  • The Rural District of Aylesbury; and
  • The Rural District of Amersham parishes of Ashley Green, Chartridge, Cholesbury-cum-St Leonards, Great Missenden, Latimer, Lee, and Little Missenden.[23]

Beaconsfield and southern parts of the Rural District of Amersham (including Amersham itself) were transferred to the new constituency of South Buckinghamshire. The boundary with Buckingham was redrawn to align with the northern boundary of the Rural District of Aylesbury.

1974–1983

[edit]
  • The Borough of Aylesbury;
  • The Rural District of Aylesbury; and
  • The Rural District of Wycombe parishes of Bledlow-cum-Saunderton, Bradenham, Ellesborough, Great and Little Hampden, Great and Little Kimble, Ibstone, Lacey Green, Longwick-cum-Ilmer, Princes Risborough, Radnage, and Stokenchurch.[24]

Parts of the Rural District of Wycombe, including Princes Risborough (but excluding Hughenden), transferred back from Wycombe. Chesham and the northern part of the Rural District of Amersham included in the new constituency of Chesham and Amersham.

1983–1997

[edit]
  • The District of Aylesbury Vale wards of Aston Clinton, Aylesbury Central, Bedgrove, Elmhurst, Gatehouse, Grange, Mandeville, Meadowcroft, Oakfield, Southcourt, Wendover, and Weston Turville;
  • The District of Chiltern wards of Ballinger and South Heath, Great Missenden, and Prestwood and Heath End; and
  • The District of Wycombe wards of Bledlow-cum-Saunderton, Icknield, Lacey Green and Hampden, Naphill-cum-Bradenham, Princes Risborough, and Stokenchurch.[25]

Great Missenden transferred from Chesham and Amersham. Rural areas to the north and west of the town of Aylesbury transferred to Buckingham.

1997–2010

[edit]
  • The District of Aylesbury Vale wards of Aylesbury Central, Bedgrove, Elmhurst, Gatehouse, Grange, Mandeville, Meadowcroft, Oakfield, Southcourt, Wendover, and Weston Turville;
  • The District of Chiltern wards of Ballinger and South Heath, Great Missenden, and Prestwood and Heath End; and
  • The District of Wycombe wards of Bledlow-cum-Saunderton, Icknield, Lacey Green and Hampden, Naphill-cum-Bradenham, Princes Risborough, and Stokenchurch.[26]

Minor changes, including the transfer of the District of Aylesbury Vale ward of Aston Clinton to Buckingham.

2010–2024

[edit]
Map
Map of boundaries 2010–2024
  • The District of Aylesbury Vale wards of Aston Clinton, Aylesbury Central, Bedgrove, Coldharbour, Elmhurst and Watermead, Gatehouse, Mandeville and Elm Farm, Oakfield, Quarrendon, Southcourt, Walton Court and Hawkslade, and Wendover; and
  • The District of Wycombe wards of Bledlow and Bradenham, Greater Hughenden, Lacey Green, Speen and the Hampdens, Stokenchurch, and Radnage.[27]

Hughenden transferred from Wycombe. Princes Risborough transferred to Buckingham, offset by return of Aston Clinton. Great Missenden returned to Chesham and Amersham.

In April 2020, the Districts of Aylesbury Vale and Wycombe, as well as those of South Bucks and Chiltern were merged into the new unitary authority of Buckinghamshire Council. Accordingly, the contents of the constituency were:

  • The Buckinghamshire Council wards of Aston Clinton and Bierton (part), Aylesbury East, Aylesbury North, Aylesbury North West, Aylesbury South East, Aylesbury South West, Aylesbury West, Ridgeway East (part), Ridgeway West, Stone and Waddesdon (part), Wendover, Hatton & Stoke Mandeville, West Wycombe (part), and Wing (part).

The constituency is based on the large town of Aylesbury and its suburbs as well as a small swathe of villages broken up by woods and cultivated land in the centre of the Chilterns which cover most of Buckinghamshire and parts of three other counties.

2024–present

[edit]

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which became effective for the 2024 general election the constituency is composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

  • The District of Buckinghamshire wards of: Aston Clinton and Bierton; Aylesbury East; Aylesbury North; Aylesbury North West; Aylesbury South East; Aylesbury South West; Aylesbury West; Ivinghoe; Wing.[28]

The constituency was subject to significant changes, with southern, largely rural parts, including the town of Wendover, being included in the newly created seat of Mid Buckinghamshire. To partly compensate, the boundaries were extended northwards to include the communities of Ivinghoe and Wing, together with surrounding rural areas, previously part of the abolished Buckingham constituency.
