From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| 1705 Eng election |
| 1707 GB co-option |
| 1708 GB election |
The British general election, 1707 was not an election as such, but the co-option of members of former Parliaments to serve in the House of Commons of the 1st Parliament of Great Britain to be held, after the merger of the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland in 1707.
[edit] Summary of the Constituencies
See British general election, 1796 for details. The constituencies used in England and Wales were the same throughout the existence of the Parliament of Great Britain. In 1707 alone the 45 Scottish members were not elected from the constituencies, but were returned by co-option of a part of the membership of the last Parliament of Scotland elected before the Union.
