Coalmining was the traditional foundation of this seat in eastern Derbyshire, which is dominated by many former colliery communities. Best known as the constituency held by Labour MP Dennis Skinner, frequent parliamentary heckler of Conservative speakers from his seat adjacent to the opposition front bench, this is safe Labour territory.
