Talk:Parliamentary Borough of Reading

Untitled
Suggest this page should be merged into Reading (UK Parliament constituency). It seems to be based on misconception that the Reading constituency pre and post 1885 was a different constituency or had a different status. This is not the case. It was Parliamentary Borough before and after this date, and as far as I can tell with unchanged boundaries. (The term "borough constituency" was not introduced until the 1948 Act, and in any case was only a change of terminology not of substance.) Rgmmortimore 12:30, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
