Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. Created as a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested in the 2024 general election. [2] It is represented by Labour Party member Liam Byrne, who was MP for Birmingham Hodge Hill from 2004 to 2024.

Contents

The constituency name refers to the Hodge Hill area of Birmingham and the northern areas of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. [3]

Constituency profile

The constituency is located to the east of Birmingham city centre. It is entirely urban or suburban, and neighbourhoods in the constituency include Hodge Hill, Kitts Green, Castle Bromwich and Smith's Wood. Most of the constituency lies within the boundaries of Birmingham, however Castle Bromwich and Smith's Wood, in the north-east of the constituency, form part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull.

The population of the area grew after World War II as a Birmingham overspill estate. [4] [5] Residents of the constituency are considerably more deprived and have lower rates of education and professional employment compared to national averages. [6] The population is ethnically diverse; 50% of residents are White, 34% are Asian (primarily Pakistani) and 8% are Black. [7] At the most recent local elections, most of the constituency elected Labour Party councillors, however the parts within Solihull elected Conservative and Green Party councillors. In the 2016 referendum on European Union membership, voters in the constituency strongly supported leaving the EU, with an estimated 63% voting for this option. [6]
