Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.

The constituency of Peak District was one of them.

It was named after the Peak District in the Midlands and consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Amber Valley, Ashfield, Broxtowe, Erewash, High Peak, Staffordshire Moorlands, and West Derbyshire.[1]

Arlene McCarthy of the Labour Party was this seat's only MEP.
