Constituency Profile:

The Conservatives' David Bevan was beaten by Estelle Morris, the Labour representative, in 1992 by 162 votes. She continued to hold the seat until standing down before the 2005 general election, at which time the seat was won by the Liberal Democrats candidate John Hemming with a majority of 2,672.
