Surrey's Spelthorne is a thoroughly built-up area, which includes Staines, Sunbury, Ashford and Shepperton jammed between London's great western reservoirs and Heathrow Airport. There are one or two working-class areas and the proportion of professional and managerial workers is the lowest in Surrey, making it the only one of 11 Surrey seats where Labour could finish second to the Tories in 1992 - a long way second. Spelthorne easily retains its taste for right-wing politics and the seat is 97 per cent white, so Tory MP David Wilshire has one of the safest of Conservative seats.
