Profile: Slough is a much maligned town to the west of London, associated with Sir John Betjeman`s “Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough” and more recently, the Office`s David Brent. It is a business hub that grew up around the world`s first industrial estate between the wars, and ballooned from post-war overspill development. It remains a major business centre, companies based here include Mars, Nintendo, Black and Decker, Amazon, CItroen and ICI`s Dulux paints factory. Industry and business have long attracted immigration here, and it is a highly diverse seat. A third of the population are from ethnic minorities, and there is also a sizable Polish community. Slough has the eight highest proportion of Sikh residents of any seat, the largest outside of London and the West Midlands. Outside of London, Slough is one of Labour`s safest seats in the South, though it was only lost by the Conservatives in 1997.
