Clwyd North West (UK Parliament constituency)
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox UK constituency Clwyd North West (Template:Langx) was a parliamentary constituency in Clwyd, North Wales. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom by the first past the post system.
History
The constituency was created for the 1983 general election, and abolished for the 1997 general election.
From 1983 to 1992, it was represented by Conservative MP Anthony Meyer, who unsuccessfully tried to challenge the leadership of prime minister Margaret Thatcher in late 1989. As a result, he was de-selected by fellow Conservative MPs as the party's candidate for the next general election,[1] which was ultimately held on 9 April 1992 and saw the Tories hold the seat with new MP Rod Richards.
Boundaries
The constituency covered a section of the North Wales coast that stretched between the resort towns of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl.
