Ealing Acton was a parliamentary constituency in West London, which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1983 until it was abolished for the 1997 general election.
History
This safe Conservative seat was held by Sir George Young (sometimes known as the 'Bicycling Baronet') for the entire period of its existence.
Boundaries
The London Borough of Ealing wards of Ealing Common, Hanger Lane, Heathfield, Pitshanger, Southfield, Springfield, Vale, and Victoria.
The constituency consisted of the eastern area of the London Borough of Ealing, in particular central Ealing and Acton. The boundary review implemented in 1997 meant that one seat was lost between the paired boroughs of Ealing and Hammersmith and Fulham. This resulted in the division of this seat. The majority of the constituents were placed into the new Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush constituency.
