		The constituency is dominated by Luton airport and the Vauxhall car plant, and it came as a major blow to the area when Vauxhall announced that they plan to close their plant by mid 2002 with the loss of 2,000 jobs.
		The constituency is part of the Neath and Port Talbot local authority area, which voted Yes in the 1997 referendum by a majority of 18,267, which was 66% of the vote in that area - the biggest single Yes percentage in Wales.
		A very middle class constituency, it has the fifth highest proportion of non manual workers in the country (78.9% of its workforce) and over a third of its adult population possess higher educational qualifications, compared with a national average of 13% (according to the 1991 census).

		Constituency boundaries are subject to regular review by an independent Boundary Commission, usually once every 10 to 15 years, to keep the electorate of each constituency as close to the national average as is reasonably possible.
		Today, constituencies in England are mostly subdivisions of administrative counties, with each constituency being comprised of a number of whole wards (for the purposes of the Boundary Commissions, unitary authorities, metropolitan boroughs and London boroughs are treated as separate administrative counties).
		Most of the current constituency boundaries were last reviewed in the early 1990s, and are therefore based on administrative boundaries prior to the last series of local government boundary changes.

		In the 1983 election Proctor's seat was divided, and he moved with the more Conservative-voting part to the new Billericay seat.

	David Ruffley MP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		To return to the history of the problem in my constituency, my office contacted the leader of Mid Suffolk district council and was told that a council officer had already visited the site and been assured that it was only temporary and would be vacated in a day or two.
		Many constituents say that, whenever they want to build, say, an extension or a large shed in their garden, they sense the full force of the law will come down on them pretty swiftly if they do not stick to its letter.
		In my constituency, the permanent settled residents—and sometimes the permanent settled Travellers—voice concern to me that, because of the way in which the planning system is operating, the new people are getting effective rights that they themselves would be denied.

		Basildon and Billericay BC and East Thurrock and Pitsea CC The Assistant Commissioner reported that it was argued that the town of Basildon was different from the town of Billericay and that the town of Basildon should not be divided between constituencies.
		He also considered that the marginal merit of the counter-proposal was "at least balanced by the coherent shape of the Commission's proposed constituencies and the run of transport and other links east-west, and is outweighed by the increase in disparity between electorates which the counter-suggestion would involve".
		Provisional recommendations must be published in newspapers in the affected constituencies and, unless proposals are for no changes to be made, they must also be deposited for public inspection in at least one place in each affected constituency.

		Billericay and Wickford are wealthy commuter towns (commuting to the City, not to Basildon) where Labour polls few votes in local elections and the battle is between Lib Dems and Tories.
		Gorman has run into further trouble since 1997 for falling foul of the rules on standards of conduct and declaration of interests; she was temporarily suspended from the Commons and has announced her retirement.
		In normal circumstances, Billericay would be an uncomplicated Conservative hold, but if Gorman defected Labour might triumph against divided right wing opposition; and if the man in the white suit rode into town all bets would be off.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 20 Jul 2001 (pt 3)
		I grew up in the adjoining constituencies of Perry Barr and West Bromwich, East, the northern parts of which melt into Erdington and Kingstanding, and those places are special for the same reason—their people.
		It is a diverse constituency, comprising four townships, broadly one in each corner of the constituency: Billericay, Wickford, Laindon and Pitsea.
		That journey is symbolised in Billericay today by the many references to the Mayflower—for example, Mayflower school, the Mayflower and Pilgrim pubs—and by the numerous small businesses that include the word "Mayflower" in their name.

		Prior to John Baron's election to Westminster, the constituency of Billericay had previously been represented by two colourful and sometimes controversial incumbants, namely Teresa Gorman and Harvey Proctor.
		John Baron's background is what might be viewed as that of a quintessential Tory MP: Cambridge educated, followed by training at Sandhurst and time as a captain in the Royal Fusiliers, before going to work in the City.
		Baron - as Amess anticipated - was defeated, but the neighbouring seat of Billericay was able to provide him with a relatively safe bet of a seat in the Commons for 2001.

		I gather that Angela Smith is contemplating moving on to pastures newer and greener in the Thurrock constituency.
		Since I can’t imagine that she would contemplate standing in Basildon and Billericay, which will surely be fairly safely Tory, it would seem that she is a bit stuck in that case.
		But where the constituency is named after a town or borough, the commission really should try to join them up with neighbouring constituency names (see the debate on Middlesbrough for an example of this).
