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. It is currently held by Mary Glindon of the Labour Party, who previously held the abolished constituency of North Tyneside from 2010 to 2024.

History

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.

Abolition and restoration

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which reduced the number of seats in Tyne and Wear from 13 to 12, the constituency was abolished and the Boundary Commission for England revived the constituency of Newcastle upon Tyne East for the 2010 general election. The Wallsend area was transferred to the adjacent North Tyneside constituency.[1]

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).

Boundaries

1997–2010

  • the City of Newcastle upon Tyne wards of Byker, Dene, Heaton, Monkchester, Walker, and Walkergate; and
  • the Borough of North Tyneside wards of Northumberland and Wallsend.[2]

As can 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.

2024–present

The re-established constituency is composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

  • The City of Newcastle upon Tyne wards of: Byker; Heaton; Manor Park; Ouseburn; Walker; Walkergate.
  • The Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside wards of: Battle Hill; Howdon; Northumberland; Riverside (polling districts FA and FB); Wallsend.[3]

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.
