Mid Derbyshire (UK Parliament constituency)

The constituency covers a large area to the north and east of Derby. Residents are slightly wealthier than the UK average.^[2]

Following their review of parliamentary representation, the Boundary Commission for England created this seat for the 2010 general election. Neighbouring constituencies had consequential boundary changes, with Erewash and Amber Valley the most affected.

The constituency was made up of the following electoral wards:

• Belper Central; Belper East; Belper North; Belper South; Duffield, part of the borough of Amber Valley
• Allestree, Oakwood and Spondon, part of the City of Derby
• Little Eaton and Breadsall; Ockbrook and Borrowash; Stanley; West Hallam and Dale Abbey, part of the borough of Erewash¹

¹ Further to a local government boundary review in Erewash which became effective in May 2015,^[3] the Stanley ward was merged into Little Eaton and Breadsall which was renamed Little Eaton and Stanley.

Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency was expanded by adding the South West Parishes ward in the Borough of Amber Valley (as it existed on 1 December 2020), transferred from Derbyshire Dales.^[4]

Following local government boundary reviews in Amber Valley^[5][6] and Derby^[7][8] which came into effect in May 2023, the constituency now comprises the following:

• The Borough of Amber Valley wards of: Alport & South West Parishes (part); Belper East; Belper North; Belper South; Duffield & Quarndon.
• The City of Derby wards of: Allestree; Chaddesden North (small part); Oakwood (most); Spondon.
• The Borough of Erewash wards of: Little Eaton & Stanley; Ockbrook & Borrowash; West Hallam & Dale Abbey.^[9]

Note: This constituency was a notional hold in 2010, as it would likely have been won by the Conservatives in 2005 had it existed then. This is despite the fact all of the wards were actually within constituencies that Labour held in 2005.

General Election 1914–15:

Another General Election was required to take place before the end of 1915. The political parties had been making preparations for an election to take place and by July 1914, the following candidates had been selected;

• Liberal: John Hancock
• Unionist:

• Hancock, who was sponsored by the Derbyshire Miners Association was chosen by the local Liberal Association as their candidate. During the campaign he agreed that he would sign the Labour Party constitution, so some records describe him as the Labour party candidate.
