Census data can be used to take a point clicked on, say, a Google Map, and turn into into a constituency reasonably reliably. I'm doing this to find highway authorities at FillThatHole, and, since the boundary changes only involved the re-allocation of districts, this seems to work OK even with the recent "boundary" changes. A map coupled with a geocoder is quite powerful: you can allow postcodes, placenames, or direct clicking on a map. Pity it's not (yet) legal to display the boundaries on a public website, as that would help enormously.
