Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox UK constituency main Coventry North was a parliamentary constituency in the city of Coventry in the West Midlands. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system.

History

The constituency was created for the 1950 general election, and abolished for the February 1974 general election.

Throughout its history this constituency provided a reasonably safe seat for Labour backbencher, Maurice Edelman. His majority ranged between 1,241 (2.8%) in the 1959 election to 11,117 (22.2%) in 1950.

Boundaries

The County Borough of Coventry wards of Bablake, Foleshill, Holbrook, Radford, and Sherbourne.

The constituency was one of three divisions of Coventry, a parliamentary borough in the historic county of Warwickshire in the West Midlands region of England.

When Coventry was first divided for parliamentary purposes, in the 1945-50 Parliament, the area that later became this constituency was split between the then two seats of Coventry East and Coventry West.

In 1974 Coventry was split into four new constituencies, and this seat disappeared. Foleshill ward became part of Coventry North East, while the remaining four wards from this seat formed the whole of Coventry North West.
