Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
This constituency was created in 1997, abolished in 2010, then re-established under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for the 2024 general election.
The constituency was created in 1997 by the merger of the bulk of the former seat of Newcastle upon Tyne East and parts of the former seat of Wallsend.
It was represented throughout its first existence by Nick Brown of the Labour Party, who served as Government Chief Whip from 1997 to 1998 and again from 2008 to 2010.
As would be inferred from the name, the constituency consisted of the eastern parts of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne plus Wallsend and the surrounding area.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Tyne and Wear, reducing the number of seats in the county from 13 to 12, the Boundary Commission for England revived the constituency of Newcastle upon Tyne East in 2010. The Wallsend area was transferred to the adjacent North Tyneside constituency. [2]
For the 2010 general election the constituency was abolished by the decision of the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies. It was replaced primarily by Newcastle upon Tyne East with parts transferred to North Tyneside.
After more than a decade the constituency was re-established as a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies. The re-created constituency was formed from Newcastle upon Tyne East and North Tyneside (both abolished).
The re-established constituency is composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
The Newcastle wards were previously in Newcastle upon Tyne East, and the North Tyneside wards in the constituency of that name - both of which were abolished.
