Kingston upon Hull (UK Parliament constituency)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kingston upon Hull, often simply referred to as Hull, was a parliamentary constituency in Yorkshire, electing two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, from 1305 until 1885. Its MPs included the anti-slavery campaigner, William Wilberforce, and the poet Andrew Marvell.

[edit] History

Kingston upon Hull was a borough constituency in the town (later city) of Hull. Until the Great Reform Act of 1832, it consisted only of the parish of St Mary's, Hull and part of Holy Trinity, Hull, entirely to the west of the River Hull. This excluded parts of the urban area which had not been originally part of the town, but some of these - the rest of Holy Trinity parish, Sculcoates, Drypool, Garrisonside and part of Sutton-on-Hull - were brought into the constituency by boundary changes in 1832. This increased the population of the borough from around 16,000 to almost 50,000.

Until the Reform Act, the right to vote in Hull was vested in the freemen of the city, which made the constituency one of the larger and more competitive ones. At the general election of 1831, 2,174 voters went to the polls.

The Hull constituency was abolished for the 1885 general election, the city being divided into three single-member constituencies, Kingston upon Hull Central, Kingston upon Hull East and Kingston upon Hull West.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Wilberforce was re-elected at the general election of 1784, but was also elected for Yorkshire, which he chose to represent, and did not sit for Hull in this parliament
  2. ^ Created a baronet as Sir George Denys in 1813
  3. ^ On petition, Wilberforce's qualification as a candidate was declared defective and his election was voided. After scrutiny of the votes, Hutt (who had originally been placed third) was declared elected in his stead
  4. ^ The 1852 election was declared void on petition. Hull's right to representation was suspended and a Royal Commission appointed to investigate. Once it had reported, a new election was held, which none of the four original candidates contested.
  5. ^ On petition, the election of Hoare was declared void and a by-election held
