 | | Lord John Morris represented the constituency for 42 years and served as Minister for Defence, Secretary of State for Wales and Attorney General. | | | It, and the neighbouring Assembly and Parliamentary constituencies of Neath, constitute the County Borough Council of Neath Port Talbot. | | | Briton Ferry had one of the very first Independent Labour Party branches in Wales and ever since the election of Ramsey McDonald to Parliament in 1919, the constituency has had a Labour MP. |

| | However, supporters of the Assembly argue that it is more democratically accountable than the Welsh Office, which was represented in the British Cabinet by a Secretary of State who often did not even represent a Welsh constituency at Westminster. | | | This is because unlike those other parts of the UK, Wales has had the same legal and administrative system as England. | | | There have thus far been two elections to the Assembly, the first taking place in 1999 and the second in 2003. |
