North East Derbyshire is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005 by Natascha Engel of the Labour Party.[n 2]
History
This constituency was created in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. Until 1910 it was a regularly represented by the Liberal party but since 1935 has remained a Labour safe seat, one of those longest continuously held by that party. In 2010 it became, unusually, a marginal seat. In the past mining and associated industries were an important source of employment, though the former ceased around 1970. At about the same time, some ex-mining towns like Dronfield saw much middle class commuter house building in areas like Dronfield Woodhouse; jobs were typically in Sheffield and Chesterfield.
