Birmingham Yardley is a constituency [n 1] of part of the city of Birmingham represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2015 by Jess Phillips of the Labour Party. [n 2]
Yardley Rural District was annexed to Birmingham under the 1911 Greater Birmingham Act.
The seat covers south-eastern areas of Birmingham including Stechford, Tyseley, Yardley and Acocks Green. Electoral Calculus describes the seat as "Centrist", characterised by moderate views on social and economic issues. [3]
From the seat's creation in 1918 until the 2005 general election, the MP elected for Birmingham Yardley was on all but three occasions a member of the party that won the general election, making it a former bellwether seat. Exceptions were Labour wins in the constituency compared to Conservative wins nationally in 1951, 1955 and 1992.
1918–1950: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Saltley, Small Heath, and Yardley.
1950–1955: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green, and Yardley. [5]
1955–1983: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green, Sheldon, and Yardley. [6]
1983–2010: The City of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green, Sheldon, and Yardley.
2010–present: The City of Birmingham wards of Acocks Green, Sheldon, South Yardley, and Stechford and Yardley North.
Yardley area committee district is coterminous with the seat which covers an area of the south-east of Birmingham with and on the boundaries of Solihull. It borders the parliamentary constituencies of Solihull, Meriden, Birmingham Hall Green and Birmingham Hodge Hill.
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the next general election, due by January 2025, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
After adjusting the boundaries to take into account the revised ward structure in the City of Birmingham with effect from May 2018 [8] , the Garretts Green ward will be transferred to Birmingham Hodge Hill (to be renamed Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North) in exchange for the Small Heath ward.
