is a
Constituency represented in the
House Of Commons of the
Parliament Of The United Kingdom . It elects one
Member Of Parliament (MP) by the
First Past The Post system of election.
This seat was created in
1997 and is set to be abolished in time for the next election. Currently, Lancaster & Wyre contains the City of
Lancaster and most of the
Wyre borough.
The proposals for
Lancashire are now (2006) complete, they propose that this seat is split into two. Lancaster will be attached to another part of Wyre borough, over the
River Wyre to the
Fishing Port of
Fleetwood . The new seat of
Lancaster And Fleetwood would then be the first time the two places have been linked for parliamentary reasons for many years.
If the proposals are implmented the other seat would be the new
Wyre And Preston North . This seat has never been created before, and the bringing together of
Garstang ,
Thornton ,
Poulton-le-Fylde and the Fulwood and northern rural areas of
Preston is unprecedented. This was the only seat gained by the Conservatives in the North West in the
2005 General Election .
The seat of Lancaster and Wyre was created in time for the 1997 election. There have only been two Members of Parliament for this seat.
