Description BBC Constituency Profile:

The constituency stretches from the town of Carmarthen in the east, to the southern tip of the Haven Waterway on the Pembrokeshire coast. The traditional seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot are in the constituency, as is Laugharne, which was once home to the poet Dylan Thomas.

The proportion of self-employed workers here at the end of 2014 was 11.8% - higher than the Welsh and British averages. At 11.9% the proportion of people with no qualifications is also higher than the Welsh and British averages.

The Conservatives have held the seat in Parliament since 2010 and in the Welsh assembly since 2007. Simon Hart won the seat for the Tories at the last election, taking it from Labour with a swing of 6.9%.
