The wider constituency was formed from an expansion of the narrow parliamentary borough (or simply borough) of the same name that existed from 1295 to 1918. This had elected two MPs from 1295 (the Model Parliament) until 1885, and then one until 1918. Since 1918 it has consistently elected candidates of the Conservative Party.
Boundaries
1918-1950: The County Borough of Canterbury, the Urban Districts of Herne Bay and Whitstable, the Rural Districts of Bridge and Elham, and the Rural District of Blean with the detached parts of the civil parishes of Dunkirk and Hernhill which were wholly surrounded by the rural district.
1950-1983: The County Borough of Canterbury, the Urban Districts of Herne Bay and Whitstable, and the Rural District of Bridge Blean.
1983-1997: The City of Canterbury wards of Barham Downs, Barton, Blean Forest, Chartham, Chestfield, Gorrell, Harbledown, Harbour, Little Stour, Marshside, Northgate, North Nailbourne, St Stephen's, Seasalter, Stone Street, Sturry North, Sturry South, Swalecliffe, Tankerton, Westgate, and Wincheap, and the Borough of Swale wards of Boughton and Courtenay.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of the existing city of Canterbury with the Whitstable and Herne BayUrban Districts, and Bridge-BleanRural District. The latter district entirely surrounded the city; the urban districts occupied the coastal area to the north.
Politics
Elections to the city council are held every four years, all of the 50 seats on the council being elected. After being under no overall control for a number of years, the Conservative party gained a majority at the 2007 election and increased it in the 2011 election.
Following the United Kingdom local elections, 2011 and subsequent by-elections, and defections between groups the political composition of Canterbury council is as follows:
Geography
Within the district are the towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable, which with the parishes and the cathedral city itself, make up the 'City of Canterbury' district. There are 26 parishes within the district, as follows:
The biggest upset of election night came in Canterbury. It has been Conservative for 99 years - its former MP had a majority of nearly 10 thousand.
All that was swept away by a Labour surge. It is another city with a large population of students - but it wasn't just Labour's promise of scrapping tuition fees that won the day.

Young voters play role in Canterbury elex upset
(9 Jun 2017) In a stunning blow to the conservatives, Canterbury has elected a Labour MP for the first time since the constituency was formed nearly a century ago.
The historic English town in the heart of Kent has always been a Tory stronghold - but Sunday's vote saw incumbent Sir Julian Brazier lose to Rosie Duffield by just 187 votes.
Increased student participation in the election is being seen as a key factor in the shock result
"I was very excited actually. Very surprised", said Nicholas Hubble, a 19-year-old Labour voter who traveled down from Exeter where he studied to vote back home.
With tens of thousands of European nationals visiting, studying or living in the city, 23-year-old George Dabaasio also believes Brexit played a big role.

Policing and the Prevention of Violence Against Women - Home Secretary Priti Patel - 15 March 2021
Priti Patel MP, Secretary of State for the Home Department, will update the House of Commons on Policing and the Prevention of Violence Against Women.
Ministerial statements are a way for Ministers to bring an important matter to the attention of the House, often at short notice. Government Ministers may make oral statements to Parliament which usually address major incidents, government policies or actions. These take place after Oral Questions and any granted Urgent Questions. After making a statement the Minister responds to questions on its topic from MPs. An hour is allocated for this. Commons statements will sometimes be repeated in the Lords at an appropriate time to fit in with the main business.

ITV Election Debate - Key moments
Labour’s plan to launch a tax raid on private schools is “crazy” and will drive more children into the state sector, Penny Mordaunt warned on Thursday.
During the seven-party debate hosted by ITV newsreader Julie Etchingham, the Leader of the Commons said Sir Keir Starmer’s proposal “doesn’t serve anyone” and is “the kind of dogma we need to keep out of the public sector”.
Addressing Angela Rayner during the event, she said: “What Angela and the Labour Party are going to do is, unbelievably, they are going to tax education”.

(9 Jun 2017) In a stunning blow to the conservatives, Canterbury has elected a Labour MP for the first time since the constituency was formed nearly a century ago.
The historic English town in the heart of Kent has always been a Tory stronghold - but Sunday's vote saw incumbent Sir Julian Brazier lose to Rosie Duffield by just 187 votes.
Increased student participation in the election is being seen as a key factor in the shock result
"I was very excited actually. Very surprised", said Nicholas Hubble, a 19-year-old Labour voter who traveled down from Exeter where he studied to vote back home.
With tens of thousands of European nationals visiting, studying or living in the city, 23-year-old George Dabaasio also believes Brexit played a big role.
During the 2016 EU referendum, Canterbury voted to leave the EU by 51 percent but many young people didn't turn up to vote.
With students and staff from about 150 different countries, Edwards Morgan-Jones a Senior Lecturer at Kent University believes people were "very worried about the effect of the government's approach of Brexit on the university".
But to some extent, it also comes down to the numbers.
"We had 10 percent more voters than in 2015 and those voters were mainly younger voters", he said.
The reason for this surge can partly be attributed to university unions who went out and actively encourages students to register to vote.
For first year political science student, Toby French, what inspired him was the way the Labour party reached out to youth using popular platforms.
But for Tory voters, the defeat was a devastating blow. 67-year-old Sheryl Barker says she's angry at the students and the universities who she believes influenced them.

The wider constituency was formed from an expansion of the narrow parliamentary borough (or simply borough) of the same name that existed from 1295 to 1918. This had elected two MPs from 1295 (the Model Parliament) until 1885, and then one until 1918. Since 1918 it has consistently elected candidates of the Conservative Party.
