I have (or certainly had) a large number of photocopies of the maps from that book but can't remember what the book was. Of course they are rather poorly drawn maps themselves but I found them useful at the time with no other maps available to show historical constituency boundaries

P.S. For the boundaries for elections before 1983, I used traced copies of a series of maps which I found in some reference books in the library many years ago. I don't think the books are there any more, and I don't remember what the title was, but Davıd Boothroyd will know. Here is an example of the original (which is the right size for an A3 map of the whole UK if you scale down all the inset bits): Kinnear's The British Voter. V.good book.

Yes - this was The British Voter: An Atlas and Survey by Michael Kinnear. Another book with (very basic) maps was F W S Craig's Boundaries of Parliamentary Constituencies 1885-1972.

Found 'Some geographical and statistical aspects of the distribution of votes in recent general elections', University of Hull (1966) on ABE a week or so back. Another decent book full of maps.

Sadly only a stateside copy at an eyewatering £72.40 (plus £21.09 postage) there at the moment, but you could choose from other University of Hull publications of 1966 such as "Lollards and Protestants in the Diocese of York 1509-1558", "An Approach to the study of Karst Water", and my particular favourite "Man's Influence on the vegetation of Barbados, 1627 to 1800". Oh, and "Form and Content - an Inaugural lecture" by Quentin Bell, a member of the Bloomsbury Bells. Despite his pacifist family he volunteered for military service in WWII but was rejected on medical grounds, so spent the war working on a farm owned by John Maynard Keynes.

Wasn't QB an 'underwear fetishist' hence his medical rejection?

The Quentin Bell book is very good.

Contiguous constituencies, 1970 GE:- Constituencies surrounded by seats with the same allegiance in dark colours. 'Orphan' constituencies in lighter colours. Possible the odd error despite my best efforts. (The Table of Contiguities is spread over a few pages and many numbers). Main Tory clusters - South East, Fylde Coast to Harrogate. Lab clusters - South Wales (would have been greater but for SO Davies), East End/Docks, North East, Eastern Glasgow/North Larks.

Was this survey done previously when the UK was still a member?

Both the French and the Italian maps are definitely wrong.
