Newport Constituency

Notes

Cheffins describes this unit within England, however, Monmouthshire is grouped with Wales in Craig 1918-1949. Cheffins describes Monmouth PDivCon as within Wales and as this is east geographically of Newport on the map from the 1917 Boundary Commission Report this unit has therefore been altered to be within Wales.
