Morecambe and Lonsdale was a constituency of the British House of Commons which existed until 1983.
Following the reorganisation of local government in England in the 1970s, a successor constituency called Morecambe and Lunesdale was formed. This followed the formation of Cumbria as a county council.
Before 1950, Morecambe was in the Lancaster constituency.
In the 1950s, the seat of Morecambe and Lonsdale incorporated Morecambe, Heysham, Carnforth, and the communities with Ulverston Rural District, which included Grange-over-Sands, Ulverston, Pennington, Satterthwaite, Hawkshead and Coniston[2]
