Belfast Bloomfield was a constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.

Boundaries

Belfast Bloomfield was a borough constituency located in eastern Belfast. Established in 1929, it was created when the House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistribution of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland) 1929 introduced first-past-the-post elections throughout Northern Ireland.

The constituency was formed by dividing Belfast East into four new constituencies, one of which was Belfast Bloomfield. It remained unchanged, returning a single member of Parliament, until the Parliament of Northern Ireland was temporarily suspended in 1972 and subsequently abolished in 1973.[1]

Politics

The constituency was the most staunchly unionist in East Belfast. It was held continuously by Ulster Unionist Party candidates, although labour movement candidates sometimes polled well.[1]
