I have a present for you....
There are only estimates for how the vote went on a constituency level. Chris Hanretty, Professor of Politics at Royal Holloway has been working on this for some time. The data is here -

He talks about methods and error here -

He asked nicely if his paper could be cited when using his data so here we go -
