Nottingham South is the most marginal of the city's three constituencies, but was won by Labour in 1992, and should be safe in 1997. There are poor inner-city areas, comfortable residential suburbs, and extensive, but relatively well-off, council housing that has seen a steady rise in owner-occupation. Labour MP Alan Simpson, something of a left-wing critic of the Party's modernising leadership, should return to parliament as a member of the awkward squad in any future Labour administration.
