It contained no less than seventy-one constituencies, electing a total of seventy-six M.P.s — which was more than the total for Scotland. The region embraces not only the whole of Lancashire, but also Cheshire and those parts of Westmorland, Derbyshire and Staffordshire which look towards the Lancashire and Cheshire plains.
