 List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies at AllExperts
This is a list of the 646 constituencies currently represented in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom Parliament, as at the 2005 general election.
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).

 Encyclopedia: UK general election, 2005/06
Legislation was passed by the UK Parliament in September 2004, which will come into effect upon the dissolution of the current UK Parliament, to break the linkage between UK Parliament constituencies and Scottish Parliament constituencies; therefore this election will mark a reduction of the number of constituencies for the UK Parliament.
This is because Members of Parliament cannot formally take their seats until they swear allegiance to the Queen (which Sinn Féin members refuse to do).

Pitt was his leader in politics; but to Pitt he applied in vain for a seat at the Board of Trade, nor was he successful in his application for the post of ambassador at Constantinople, or for that of governor of Quebec.
