HISTORY

The constituency was formed in 1885 . From 1950 until 1997 , the seat was held by the Conservative Party ; the Brewing industry of Burton upon Trent traditionally being a strong supporter of the Conservatives. However, like many traditionally Conservative seats, it fell to the Labour Party during their landslide victory at the 1997 General Election . Labour's Janet Dean has held the seat since then.
