History
The constituency was created in 1950, as
Leeds North-West; the name was changed by dropping the hyphen in 1955. Before the
1950 general election,
Leeds was represented by the constituencies of:
Leeds Central,
Leeds North,
Leeds South,
Leeds West, (all created 1885);
Leeds North-East and
Leeds South-East (both created 1918). There were also constituencies of
Batley and Morley (created 1918) and
Pudsey and Otley (created 1918 replacing
Pudsey). The only changes after the 1950 election were the introduction of Leeds North West and the creation of Pudsey, replacing Pudsey and Otley.
The constituency was held for the
Conservative Party by
Donald Kaberry from its creation in 1950 until his retirement in 1983, and then by
Keith Hampson (1983–1987). It was taken for
Labour in the
1997 General Election by
Harold Best, who was re-elected in the
2001 General Election. Best retired at the
2005 General Election, when the seat was contested for Labour by Judith Blake, but was taken for the
Liberal Democrats by
Greg Mulholland.
This constituency has one of the biggest student populations in the country; over a quarter of the electorate.
