Administrative history
The Conservative and Unionist Party in Cardiff, Glamorgan, is organised into separate Conservative Associations, each based on an electoral constituency. Due to changes in electoral boundaries, there have been a number of different associations. In 1918, the constituencies comprised Cardiff Central, Cardiff South, Cardiff East, and Llandaff and Barry. After the 1945 general election, these were replaced by the South East, North and West divisions and Barry. By 1974 further redistribution resulted in the addition of Cardiff North West. By 1983 these had been replaced by Cardiff Central, Cardiff North, Cardiff West and Cardiff South and Penarth. The constituency associations were coordinated by the Glamorgan and Monmouthshire Group Advisory Council and the City of Cardiff Conservative Committee. The Glamorgan Unionist Labour Committee was active between 1918 and 1930. Its function is not known.
