Newcastle upon Tyne East is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 recreation by Nick Brown of the Labour Party.[n 2]
History
Parliament created this constituency in the Representation of the People Act 1918 however its first creation was eventually absorbed in 1997 by the new Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend seat. Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which recommended the recreation of the seat for the 2010 general election.
Apart from a quite widespread party defection in 1981 to the SDP, successive members of the Labour Party have represented this constituency in Westminster since 1964 (including its interim successors). Since 1970, the double-digit majorities won suggest in all three previous forms of the constituency and today's constituency have been safe seats.
- Latest political results in the local context
For the Labour Party was likely to be more marginal since 2006 when a Liberal Democrat local popularity strengthened, winning council seats across the constituency with large majorities. This indicated a possibility of Labour losing the seat to the Liberal Democrats at the 2010 general election. In the event, Labour's Nick Brown held the seat with the smallest majority in 44 years, and in the simultaneous local elections Labour benefitted from the associated increased turnout to take the Walkergate Council Ward from the Liberal Democrats.
Boundaries
1918–1950: The County Borough of Newcastle wards of Byker, St Anthony's, St Lawrence, and Walker.
1950–1983: The County Borough of Newcastle wards of Dene, Heaton, St Lawrence, Walker, and Walkergate.
1983–1997: The City of Newcastle wards of Byker, Dene, Heaton, Monkchester, Sandyford, Walker, and Walkergate.
2010–present: The City of Newcastle wards of Byker, Dene, North Heaton, North Jesmond, Ouseburn, South Heaton, South Jesmond, Walker, and Walkergate.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Tyne and Wear in 2005, the Boundary Commission for England re-created the constituency of Newcastle upon Tyne East, which took effect at the 2010 general election. The new seat largely replaced the former Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend seat, with the Wallsend element being transferred to the adjacent North Tyneside constituency.
