Wolverhampton West is a borough constituency in the city of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands of England which was re-established for the 2024 general election following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and which is formed largely from the former Wolverhampton South West constituency. It has been represented in the House of Commons since 2024 by Warinder Juss.

Boundaries

1885–1918

The original boundaries of the constituency were set in the sixth schedule of the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. The seat comprised five wards of the municipal borough of Wolverhampton (St. Mark's, St. Paul's, St. John's, St. George's and St. Matthew's) and the neighbouring Ettingshall area which lay outside the borough boundaries.

1918–1950

Constituencies throughout Great Britain and Ireland were redrawn by the Representation of the People Act 1918. Wolverhampton's municipal boundaries had been enlarged and it had become a county borough in the period since 1885. The Wolverhampton West seat was redefined to reflect this, and was described as comprising nine wards of the county borough: Blakenhall, Dunstall, Graiseley, Merridale, Park, St. George's, St. John's, St. Mark's and St. Matthew's.

2024–

The re-established constituency is composed of the following wards (as they existed on 1 December 2020): The seat comprises the whole of the current Wolverhampton South West constituency, with the addition of the Blakenhall ward from Wolverhampton South East and the Oxley ward from Wolverhampton North East.

History

The constituency was created by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 for the 1885 general election, when the former two-seat Wolverhampton constituency was divided into three single-member constituencies. It was abolished for the 1950 general election, when it was largely replaced by the new Wolverhampton South West constituency.
