Acton was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, created for the 1918 general election. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post system of election.

The constituency was abolished for the 1983 general election, and replaced by the new Ealing Acton constituency.

Boundaries

The seat was incepted by the Representation of the People Act 1918 which increased the number of seats where population had expanded such as in Middlesex due to the conurbation growing around the County of London. It was based on the town of Acton. The seat consisted of the Acton Urban District which became a Municipal Borough in 1921.

A redistribution of Parliamentary seats, which took effect at the United Kingdom general election, 1950 made no change to the boundaries; its legislation, affecting election expenses and returning officer re-classified, the seat as a borough constituency.

In 1965 the area became part of the London Borough of Ealing and Greater London.

In the redistribution which took effect at the February 1974 general election, the seat to the west, Ealing South, was abolished and this seat absorbed most of its area to reach the electoral quote, it having been heavily underweight in electorate. The seat in statute and statutory instrument became variously Ealing: Acton and Acton under a heading of London Borough of Ealing (from 1983 it formally acquired the name Ealing Acton - see Ealing Acton).

Components
  • 1945-1974: Acton M.B.[1][2]
  • 1974-1983 (abolition): Six wards (being the area before with the addition of the centre of the new borough) in the London Borough of Ealing: Central, East, Hanger Hill, Heathfield, Southfield and Springfield.[3]
