Derby is a former United Kingdom Parliamentary constituency. It was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of England, then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1950. It was represented by two members of parliament. It was divided into the single-member constituencies of Derby North and Derby South in 1950.

History

Derby regularly sent two representatives to Parliament from Edward I's reign. In 1900 it was one of the first two constituencies to elect a member from the then newly formed Labour Party, along with Merthyr Tydfil.

In 1950 the constituency was abolished and replaced by the two single-member constituencies of Derby North and Derby South.

Boundaries

1885–1918: The existing parliamentary borough, and so much of the municipal borough of Derby as was not already included in the parliamentary borough.[1]
