The constituency contains Heathrow Airport, which provides the seat's main avenue of employment. Mostly working-class, the Conservative Terry Dicks held the seat in three General Elections after a previous Labour member defected to the now defunct Social Democratic Party in 1983, but not always comfortably. In 1997, the seat swung heavily back to the Labour Party.
