Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies/Historic constituency names
Historic UK Parliament constituency names is an index of names for constituencies of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom as used within articles listed in Category:Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (historic). The alphabetical order, however, is that of the article names. Alphabetical order of constituency names would be more confusing than helpful, except perhaps in a second or supplementary index somehow linked to this index.
