North East Bedfordshire was a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2024. Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. Subject to moderate boundary changes, it reverted to the name of North Bedfordshire, first contested at the 2024 general election. South eastern areas, including the communities of Arlesey, Langford and Stotfold, were included in the re-established, cross-county boundary, constituency of Hitchin.

Constituency profile

This is a mainly rural, professional area, with medium level incomes, low unemployment and a low proportion of social housing. The East Coast Main Line runs through the east part of the seat, with several stations connecting to Central London.
