Parliament Buildings in Stormont, Belfast, where the House of Commons of Northern Ireland met from 1932 to 1972

The House of Commons of Northern Ireland was the lower chamber of the bicameral Parliament of Northern Ireland. The Parliament was created under the Government of Ireland Act 1920,[1] and first met after a general election held on 24 May 1921.[2] Parliament was suspended on 30 March 1972,[1] when the Northern Ireland (Temporary Provisions) Act 1972 imposed direct rule from London, and was formally abolished on 18 July 1973 under the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973.[1]

The House of Commons had 52 members, known as MPs. They were elected by single transferable vote (STV) in the 1921 and 1925 elections, and from 1929 onwards by first-past-the-post, except for the 4-seat Queen's University of Belfast constituency which retained STV until its abolition in 1969.[1]
