Composition
These representative diagrams show the composition of the parties as it was directly after the 1992 general election and before the 1997 general election:
Note: The Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru sit together as a party group. This is not the official seating plan of the House of Commons, which has five rows of benches on each side, with the government party to the right of the speaker and opposition parties to the left, but with room for only around two-thirds of MPs to sit at any one time.
By-elections
See the list of United Kingdom by-elections.
Two seats were vacant when Parliament was dissolved preparatory to the 1997 general election:
Meriden: Iain Mills (Con) died 13 January 1997
Don Valley: Martin Redmond (Lab) died 16 January 1997
One further MP died prior to the 1997 general election (who was standing down due to health problems, incidentally) during the period in which parliament was dissolved:
North Dorset: Nicholas Baker (Con) died 25 April 1997
Defections
1995 Alan Howarth (Stratford-on-Avon) defects from Con to Lab.
1995 Emma Nicholson (Devon West and Torridge) defects from Con to Lib Dem.
1996 Peter Thurnham (Bolton North East) defects from Con to Lib Dem, with eight months as an independent.
March 1997 George Gardiner (Reigate) defects from Con to Referendum Party.
Progression of government majority and party totals
The government voting total is the total number of Conservative MPs, minus the two Conservative Deputy Speakers. The opposition voting total is the total number of other MPs, minus the Speaker and the Labour Deputy Speaker. The majority is the difference between the former and the latter. See also here.
