GB 0074 ACC/1267 1923-1971 Collection 1.21 linear metres Southall Constituency Labour Party

Until 1945 Southall fell within the Uxbridge parliamentary division. In that year the new parliamentary borough of Southall was formed out of Southall municipal borough and Hayes and Harlington Urban district. Changes in 1948 excluded Hayes and Harlington and brought in the Hanwell North and Hanwell South Wards. After the London local government changes of 1965 Southall municipal borough became part of the London borough of Ealing. This did not affect the constituency which remained unchanged until 1971 when the new Ealing, Southall constituency was created.

Local Labour Parties: It has not been possible to establish exactly when the local Labour movement in the old Uxbridge division took on formal shape. The Southall and Norwood Trades Council and Labour Party were in existence by 1923 and were affiliated to the larger Uxbridge Divisional Labour Party - so much can be seen from the surviving records. In 1945 the Southall Constituency Labour Party was formed after the creation of the new Southall Constituency. Between 1948 and 1958 it was generally known as the Southall and Hanwell constituency.

Local party structure: This consisted basically of a general management committee and an executive committee formed from individual members of the local party and delegates representing affiliated bodies such as trades unions and co-operative societies. Day to day administration was in the hands of a secretary/agent who was at certain periods a paid officer.

The constituency was broken down into wards and committees created for each one, i.e., Hambrough, Waxlow Manor, Dormers Wells, Norwood Green, Hanwell North and Hanwell South.
