1983–2010: The Metropolitan Borough of Wolverhampton wards of Bilston East, Bilston North, Blakenhall, East Park, Ettingshall, and Spring Vale.

Wolverhampton South East is one of three constituencies in the city of Wolverhampton, covering eastern and south-eastern parts of the city. The constituency includes the town of Bilston.
The boundaries run south from the city centre towards Blakenhall and Goldthorn Park, and east towards Willenhall. Since the 2010 general election, it has also included a small part of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley.
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
Significant changes to bring the electorate within the permitted range, with the town of Darlaston to be transferred from Walsall South, and the town of Willenhall (Willenhall South ward) from Walsall North. This will be partly offset by the transfer of the City of Wolverhampton ward of Blakenhall to the re-established constituency of Wolverhampton West, and the Borough of Dudley ward of Coseley East to the newly created seat of Tipton and Wednesbury.
Following a local government boundary review in the City of Wolverhampton which came into effect in May 2023, [4] [5] the constituency will now comprise the following from the 2024 general election:
The constituency was established in 1974, in part replacing the former Bilston constituency. It has returned Labour MPs throughout its existence, thus making it unique amongst Wolverhampton's three current constituencies. Bob Edwards of the Labour and Co-operative parties, who had represented Bilston since 1955, was the constituency's first MP. He served until 1987, when he was succeeded by Dennis Turner (also Labour Co-operative), who stood down in 2005. Pat McFadden of the Labour Party has been the MP since then. Following the 2019 general election, it is the only one of the three Wolverhampton seats to be held by Labour. The last time this was the case was in the 1987-92 Parliament, when the same two of the three Wolverhampton seats were Conservative-held.
