ベルパー（Belper）はかつて存在したイギリスの議会の選挙区。この選挙区は1918年の総選挙でダービーシャーのカウンティ区分として作成され、ダービーのカウンティと取り囲む位置の中央として構成された。名前はこの地区の北にある市場町のベルパーから取られた。1950年にカウンティの南部を含むように拡張された。実在する選挙区の中で最も激しい激戦議席となっている。

The area had an ever-expanding population after 1945 as prosperous suburbs of Derby were built outside the city boundaries. Lord George-Brown, who represented the seat at the time, wrote in 1971 after his defeat in the 1970 general election that "The electorate had increased by over 10,000 since 1966, mainly from the growth of middle-class housing estates, so that most of the new electors could be expected to vote Tory. Since my majority in 1966 was 4,274, an influx of 10,000 new voters, mainly Tory, obviously imperilled the seat."

In fact, a Boundary Commission report issued in 1969 had recommended changes which would have removed the extra voters, but the Labour government of the time had delayed implementation of the report.

境界

When created in 1918, the constituency included the Urban Districts of Alfreton, Belper and Heage, together with the Rural District of Belper and part of the Rural District of Repton (the civil parishes of Ash, Bearwardcote, Bretby, Burnaston, Dalbury Lees, Egginton, Etwall, Findern, Foremark, Ingleby, Mickleover, Newton Solney, Radbourne, Repton, Trusley, Twyford and Stenson, and Willington).

In 1950, boundary changes removed the Urban Districts of Alfreton and Heage to the Ilkeston constituency, together with the civil parish of Shipley from out of Belper Rural District. To compensate for this loss of electors, the changes transferred in the rest of the Repton Rural District from the West Derbyshire and South East Derbyshire constituencies. In addition from South East Derbyshire came the Urban District of Swadlincote.

In 1974 the boundaries were realigned with those for local government which had changed to transfer some electors to Derby. In 1983 the constituency was broken up, although the largest part (40,000 voters around Swadlincote) formed the basis of South Derbyshire. 22,000 voters around Belper itself went to West Derbyshire, and 10,000 voters to Amber Valley.
