Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, 1950–1974
Glasgow Scotstoun was a
burgh constituency of the
House of Commons of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1950 until 1974. It elected one
Member of Parliament (MP) using the
first-past-the-post voting system.
Boundaries
The
Representation of the People Act 1948 provided that the constituency was to consist of "The following wards (as so constituted
[1] ) of the county of the city of Glasgow, namely,
Knightswood ,
Whiteinch and
Yoker ."
[2]
The Parliamentary Constituencies (Scotland) (Glasgow Scotstoun, Glasgow Hillhead and Glasgow Woodside) Order 1955 (
SI 1955 /25) redefined the constituency as consisting of "The following wards of the county of the city of Glasgow, namely, Knightswood, Yoker and that part of Whiteinch ward which is not included in the
Hillhead constituency ."
Glasgow Scotstoun's boundaries were very similar to the post-2005 Glasgow North West Westminster constituency and the post-2011 Glasgow Anniesland Holyrood constituency.
