Where is Jeremy Hunt’s constituency?

Conservative MP Jeremy Hunt, the current chancellor of the Exchequer and the former Culture Secretary, Health Secretary and Foreign Secretary has been Member of Parliament (MP) for South West Surrey since 2005.

The constituency includes one end of the Greensand Ridge, including the Devil’s Punch Bowl and visitor centre at Hindhead.

The area has two railways, a branch line via Farnham, the Alton Line and the Portsmouth Direct Line. The A3 three-lane highway also passes through the seat.

South West Surrey was created in 1983, largely replacing the former seat of Farnham and it has been consistently won by the Conservative Party, though the majority dropped to a mere 861 votes in 2001, leaving it as the Liberal Democrats’ third target constituency by swing required.

Since then, the Conservative majority has substantially increased, exceeding 28,000 votes in 2015.

In the 2011 referendum on adopting the Alternative Vote (AV) system, Waverley Borough, which includes the constituency, rejected the proposal by 72.6%.

In the 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union, Waverley voted to remain in the European Union by 58.4%.
