Ealing, Southall (also Ealing Southall) is a constituency[n 1] created in 1983 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Deirdre Costigan of the Labour Party.[n 2]

Constituency profile

The majority of Ealing Southall's housing is little-embellished low-rise, where private gardens and rooms tend to be smaller than the central part of the London Borough of Ealing

The constituency has relatively good road and rail transport, and numerous small to medium-size green spaces,[2] and has had as many as three tube stations at its eastern extremes of its boundaries. Southall and Norwood Green, forming the western bulk of the seat, feature a high British Asian proportion of the population since the 1960s. British Indian ethnicity is the largest single ethnic group. British Asians account for 51% of the population, as at the 2011 census,[3] the majority of this minority is of Indian ethnicity (29.6%), with significant Hindu and Muslim populations, with the highest number of Sikh residents in any constituency in Britain at over 20%.[4] The Afro-Caribbean community amounts to 8% according to the latest census statistics. The seat has generally modest incomes and the vast majority of housing is modest terraced, semi-detached or mid-rise 20th century blocks of flats. The east of the seat is formed by Hanwell and West Ealing.

Political history

The seat has been served by three successive Labour Party MPs since its inception in 1983, with majorities ranging between 13.8% and 49% of the vote; the latter was achieved in 2017, which was not a landslide year for the party. The length of tenure and size of majorities mean that practical analyses consider Ealing Southall a safe seat. The 2015 result made the seat the 25th safest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.[6] The larger predecessor seat, created in 1945, was held by Labour throughout its existence.

Boundaries

The constituency takes in the south western third of the London Borough of Ealing in west London and is traversed by the Great Western Main Line (railway). The other Ealing constituencies are Ealing North, and Ealing Central and Acton.

For the 2010 general election, the Boundary Commission for England made minor changes. Part of Greenford Broadway ward and tiny parts of Hobbayne ward and Dormers Wells ward were transferred from the constituency of Ealing North to Ealing, Southall. Tiny parts of Hobbayne ward and Dormers Wells ward were also transferred to Ealing North. Walpole ward, and parts of Ealing Broadway ward and Ealing Common ward were transferred from the seat into new Ealing Central and Acton.

2024–present: The London Borough of Ealing wards of Dormers Wells, Hanwell Broadway, Lady Margaret, Northfield, Norwood Green, Southall Broadway, Southall Green, Southall West and Walpole.[7]

To bring the electorate within the permitted range, Walpole ward was transferred in from Ealing Central and Acton.
