Ince was a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom. It comprised the town of Ince-in-Makerfield and other towns south of Wigan.
It was created in 1885 as a division of the Parliamentary county of Lancashire, and covered Abram, Haigh, Ince in Makerfield, Orrell and Pemberton. In 1918 it was reformulated to cover the urban districts of Abram, Ashton in Makerfield, Billinge, Ince, Orrell, Standish with Langtree, along with the parish of Shevington from Wigan Rural District. Pemberton was added to the Wigan constituency. In 1950 it lost Standish with Langtree and Shevington to the Westhoughton constituency, but added Skelmersdale and Holland. The constituency was redesignated in 1970 as a borough constituency.[1]
The constituency ceased to exist with the implementation of the 1983 boundary changes and was replaced by the Makerfield Parliamentry constituency.
