DescriptionThis seat was taken by Labour for the first time in 1997. Ann Keen beat the incumbent Tory, Nirj Deva, by almost 14,500 votes and joined her husband, Alan, the MP for neighbouring Feltham and Heston, in the House of Commons - a family team representing the London Borough of Hounslow. This is the inner of the two Hounslow seats and is more residential than Feltham and Heston. It consists of several districts skirting the north bank of the Thames, from classy Chiswick and Stamford Brook out to Hounslow. Further along, Gunnersbury - under the M4 flyover - consists of old-style estates. Isleworth is quieter and more suburban. The seat was created in 1974 when two sitting MPs fought it out - Labour's Michael Barnes (Brentford & Chiswick) lost to Tory Barney Heyhoe (Heston & Isleworth). He remained there until his retirement in 1992. He was replaced by Nirj Deva - one of a number of ethnic minority MPs elected that year. More than a quarter of the people in the constituency are from ethnic minorities, mostly Asian. The 1995 boundary changes brought the ward of Hounslow West, with a very ethnically diverse population into the constituency, which worked to Labour's advantage. With Heathrow airport not far away, this area has the tenth highest proportion of workers in the transport, storage and communications sector. Samsung and Sky News have their headquarters here, as do Fullers Brewery. The Hounslow side of the constituency is strong for Labour, in striking contrast to neighbouring Twickenham and Richmond wards. Chiswick, Turnham Green and Osterley are the areas where the Conservatives do best.
