Can someone check the editing that was done on the 7th Oct 2005. There is an election about to be held in this constituency on 20th October 2005 and I would not like anybody to be misled.

[edit] Boundary changes

I dont quite believe this, under "History": The 1918 boundaries of the Streatham constituency remained unchanged until changes to Greater London local government in the 1960s were reflected in the constituency boundaries fought at the 1970 election. The February 1974 election seems more likely as when new boundaries became effective. (Changes had been decided in Parliament in 1971. I imagine the Boundary Bommission recommendations were made in 1970, perhaps before the 1970 election.)
Also I see a reference to boundary changes under "Boundaries” but no date given for these changes.

I have now altered the article, in line with observations above. Laurel Bush 09:45, 29 April 2006 (UTC).
