the post-war Attlee government, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1959 for his campaigning for disarmament. He had previously represented the former two-seat constituency of Derby since a by-election in 1936. The former Cabinet minister Margaret Beckett, who had represented Lincoln (under her maiden name of Margaret Jackson) from 1974 to 1979, has represented Derby South for the Labour Party since 1983. At that election Beckett won the seat with one of the smallest majorities seen of just 421 over the Conservative Party, since which she has achieved only larger majorities than this. The most recent result, in line with other Leave-voting seats, is a reduced majority for Labour, with both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates increasing their vote share, however Beckett still won a majority (51%) of all votes cast, higher than in the elections between 2005 and 2015, suggesting the seat is a relatively safe seat for the Labour Party.
