Robert Waller wrote

John Carlisle, right-wing Conservative MP, holds the safer of the two Tory seats in Luton. There are estates of local authority housing in Luton North as well as areas of modern private family housing. However, the working population here is generally skilled and well-paid and more inclined to vote Conservative than less securely employed workers. It has been calculated that Labour would probably need a 7 per cent swing to win Luton North on its newly revised boundaries. If the Tories were to lose this seat, Labour would be doing very well nationally.
