==Boundaries==
In 1950, boundary changes removed the Urban Districts of Alfreton and Heage to the [[Ilkeston (UK Parliament constituency)|Ilkeston]] constituency, together with the civil parish of Shipley from out of Belper Rural District. To compensate for this loss of electors, the changes transferred in the rest of the Repton Rural District from the [[West Derbyshire (UK Parliament constituency)|West Derbyshire]] and [[South East Derbyshire (UK Parliament constituency)|South East Derbyshire]] constituencies. In addition from South East Derbyshire came the Urban District of [[Swadlincote]].
In 1983 the constituency was abolished; the largest part (40,000 voters around Swadlincote) formed the basis of [[South Derbyshire (UK Parliament constituency)|South Derbyshire]], 22,000 voters around Belper itself went to West Derbyshire, and 10,000 voters to [[Amber Valley (UK Parliament constituency)|Amber Valley]].
