Description

BBC Profile:
Ealing North was Labour from 1964 until 1979, when it became Conservative and remained so for four successive governments. In 1997, Stephen Pound MP won the seat for Labour by a majority of more than 9,000. He held onto it in 2001 and 2005, although with a reduced majority.

Boundary changes mean the seat has gained part of Greenford from Ealing Southall and lost large parts of Ealing Broadway and Hangar Hill wards to the new seat of Ealing Central and Acton.

To find out what might have happened had this boundary change been in force at the last election, see a notional - or estimated - result below.

This is a constituency of broad ethnic diversity with established Asian, Irish and Polish communities.

Heathrow Airport now provides much of the employment for residents of Ealing North. Manufacturing is still important. There has been an increase in warehousing and distribution industries, which are helped by the good communication links.

A number of high schools have become specialist schools. The previously Walford school, which became the Compton, has been re-established as the West London Academy.
