Chipping Barnet is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005 by Theresa Villiers of the Conservative Party.[n 2]
Constituency profile
It has been held by a Conservative since its creation for the February 1974 general election, and withstood the Labour landslide in 1997 by just over 2% (1035 votes).
Boundaries
1974-1997: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Arkley, Brunswick Park, East Barnet, Hadley, and Totteridge.
1997-2010: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Arkley, Brunswick Park, East Barnet, Friern Barnet, Hadley, and Totteridge.
2010-present: The London Borough of Barnet wards of Brunswick Park, Coppetts, East Barnet, High Barnet, Oakleigh, Totteridge, and Underhill.
For the 2010 general election, following a review of parliamentary representation and as a consequence of changes to ward boundaries, the Boundary Commission for England recommended that parts of Underhill ward and Coppetts ward be transferred to Chipping Barnet from the constituencies of Hendon and Finchley and Golders Green respectively. It also recommended that a small part of Mill Hill ward be transferred from Chipping Barnet to Hendon.
