A safe rural Tory seat on the Welsh border, this has elected veteran Tory John Biffen since he took the seat in a by-election in 1961. The best Labour has ever achieved here is to pare his majority to 5,000 in 1966, and his long reign looks set to continue, with the opposition now almost exacty evenly split.
