The 2001 United Kingdom general election in England was held on 7 June 2001 for 529 English seats to the House of Commons. The Labour Party won a landslide majority of English seats for the second election in a row. [1]
Much like the results in the rest of the United Kingdom, the results in England largely mirrored the results of the 1997 election. Labour lost only five seats in England and the Conservatives remained unchanged (losing eight seats but gaining eight). However, three of the few new MPs elected were future Conservative Prime Ministers David Cameron and Boris Johnson and future Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. The party also gained back Tatton which it lost in 1997 to independent Martin Bell. Bell, however, did not contest the seat, and unsuccessfully ran as an independent candidate in Brentwood and Ongar.
The Liberal Democrats gained six seats overall, all of which were in England. The party gained five from Labour and one from the Conservatives.
Richard Taylor of Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern (also known simply as "Health Concern") secured his first election win, taking Wyre Forest from government MP, David Lock.
