Harlow (UK Parliament constituency)

Harlow is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Chris Vince, of the Labour and Co-operative Party.[n 2]

Constituency profile

The seat has been a bellwether since the result in 1983. Included are above county-average levels of social housing,[2] underemployment and unemployment as at the 2001 census and the associated 2000 Index of Multiple Deprivation;[3] however, the new town has brought growth sustained in part by more commuting, with an increasingly-used and separate Mill station in the London Commuter Belt, and has seen a 9.2% increase in the number of apartments to 2011, which brings the proportion of the housing market made up by flats and apartments to 23.8%.[2]

History

This seat was created for the February 1974 general election from the abolished seat of Epping, and has been subject only to minor changes since.
