There seems to be some confusion about historic Parliamentary constituencies. Lloyd George represented the borough constituency, not the county seat. No doubt the 1885-1918 Arfon and the pre-1950 Caernarvon District of Boroughs both contained territory which is in the new Arfon, but the way this is conveyed at the moment is misleading.

The history of the Caernarvonshire constituencies seems to be as follows: -

To 1885: Caernarvonshire and Caernarvon.

1885-1918: Arfon, Eifion and Caernarvon.

1918-1950: Caernarvonshire and Caernarvon.

1950-1983: Caernarvon and Conway.

Subsequently the old Welsh counties were replaced as the basis for constituency boundaries and the official spelling of the Caernarvon constituency was changed to Caernarfon.

What usually seems to be done in constituency articles is just to provide links to before and after constituencies, but not to go into detail about them and the MPs they had. --Gary J 14:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
