I'm not sure how to report an error.

The page as it stands shows the abolition of South Bedfordshire in 1983, and the number of constituencies reducing by 1 from 5 to 4 - this is incorrect. Bedfordshire retained 5 constituencies throughout the period 1983-1997. The missing constituency is the South Beds or South-West Beds seat - whichever it was named at that time. Otherwise the page is good.

I was born in Bedford and was invited to seek the Labour Nomination in South Beds in the mid 1970s...

Thanks.

• Thanks for the input. I see that the Bedfordshire constituencies from 1983 are Mid, North and South West, with the two Luton seats - North Luton and Luton South. I see I got it right in the detailed table, but missed one of the seats in the graph and summary tables. I therefore agree there were 5 Bedfordshire seats and I am grateful for the correction. --Gary J 12:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
