Ynys Môn ((:ˌənɨs ˈmoːn); called Anglesey until 1983 in English) is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The Ynys Môn Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999. ==History== The Laws in Wales Act 1535 (26 Hen. VIII, c. 26) provided for a single county seat in the House of Commons for each of twelve historic Welsh counties (including Anglesey) and two for Monmouthshire. Using the modern year, starting on 1 January, these parliamentary constituencies were authorised in 1536. The Act contains the following provision, which had the effect of enfranchising the shire of Anglesey.
The earliest known results are a fragment of the 1541 returns, where the name of the Knight of the Shire for Anglesey (as Members of Parliament from county constituencies were known before the nineteenth century) has been lost. It is not known if Anglesey was represented in the parliaments of 1536 and 1539. The borough constituency of Newborough, soon renamed Beaumaris, returned a member of parliament for the boroughs of Anglesey. It was abolished in 1885, leaving only the county constituency of Anglesey. The official name of the constituency in English was Anglesey, until it was replaced by the Welsh name Ynys Môn. Parliament approved the change, to take effect from the 1983 general election. This was purely an alteration of the official name, as no boundary changes were involved. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ynys Môn (UK Parliament constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
