North Wiltshire (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Wiltshire was a constituency[n 1] in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It was represented since its 1983 recreation by the Conservative Party.[n 2] In the period 1832–1983, North Wiltshire was an alternative name for Chippenham or the Northern Division of Wiltshire and as Chippenham dates to the original countrywide Parliament, the Model Parliament, this period is covered in more detail in that article.
