=== Proposed === |
|||
Further to the [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]], enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the [[Next United Kingdom general election|next general election]], due by January 2025, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020): |
|||
* The City of Leeds wards of: Adel and Wharfedale, [[Guiseley and Rawdon (ward)|Guiseley and Rawdon]], [[Horsforth (ward)|Horsforth]], and Otley and Yeadon.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1230/schedules/made |at=Schedule 1 Part 9 Yorkshire and the Humber region}}</ref> |
|||
Headingley and Weetwood in the south of the existing constituency (about 50% of the electorate) are to be included in the newly formed constituency of [[Leeds Central and Headingley (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds Central and Headingley]], while Guiseley, Rawdon and Horsforth will be transferred from [[Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency)|Pudsey]] (which is being reconfigured and renamed [[Leeds West and Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds West and Pudsey]]). |

The constituency was created in 1950, as '''Leeds North-West'''; the name was changed by dropping the hyphen in 1955. Before the [[1950 United Kingdom general election|1950 general election]], [[Leeds]] was represented by the constituencies of: [[Leeds Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds Central]], [[Leeds North (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds North]], [[Leeds South (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds South]], [[Leeds West (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds West]], (all created 1885); [[Leeds North East (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds North-East]] and [[Leeds South East (UK Parliament constituency)|Leeds South-East]] (both created 1918). There were also constituencies of [[Batley and Morley (UK Parliament constituency)|Batley and Morley]] (created 1918) and [[Pudsey and Otley (UK Parliament constituency)|Pudsey and Otley]] (created 1918 replacing [[Pudsey (UK Parliament constituency)|Pudsey]]). Leeds North West was created before the 1950 election, and at the same time the Pudsey and Otley constituency was abolished, re-creating the Pudsey constituency and moving Otley into the [[Ripon (UK Parliament constituency)|Ripon]] constituency. The Leeds North West boundary was revised prior to the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]], bringing in [[Otley]] and the nearby villages of [[Bramhope]], [[Pool-in-Wharfedale]] and [[Arthington]] from the abolition of the Ripon constituency. |

The constituency was held for the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] by [[Donald Kaberry]] from its creation in 1950 until his retirement in 1983, and then by [[Keith Hampson]] (1983–1997), who had previously been MP for [[Ripon (UK Parliament constituency)|Ripon]]. It was taken for [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] in the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]] by [[Harold Best]], who was re-elected in the [[2001 United Kingdom general election|2001 general election]]. Best retired at the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 general election]]. The seat was contested for Labour by [[Judith Blake]] (at that time Deputy Leader of the Labour Group on [[Leeds City Council]], and later also Labour's candidate in the [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010 general election]]), but it was taken for the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] by [[Greg Mulholland]]. Mulholland was re-elected in [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010]] and [[2015 United Kingdom general election|2015]]. [[Alex Sobel]] regained the seat for Labour in the [[2017 United Kingdom general election|2017 general election]] |

Revision as of 07:19, 14 April 2024
Leeds North West | |
---|---|
Borough constituency for the House of Commons | |
County | West Yorkshire (West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974) |
Electorate | 67,741 (December 2019)[1] |
Major settlements | Yeadon, Otley and Headingley |
Current constituency | |
Created | 1950 |
Member of Parliament | Alex Sobel (Labour Co-op) |
Seats | One |
Created from | Leeds Central and Leeds North |
Leeds North West is a constituency[n 1] in the City of Leeds which has been represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2017 by Alex Sobel, of Labour Co-op.[n 2]
Boundaries
1950–1951: The County Borough of Leeds wards of Far Headingley, Hyde Park, and Kirkstall.
1951–1955: The County Borough of Leeds wards of Far Headingley, Hyde Park, Kirkstall, and Meanwood.[2]
1955–1974: The County Borough of Leeds wards of Far Headingley, Hyde Park, Kirkstall, Meanwood, and Moortown.
1974–1983: The County Borough of Leeds wards of Cookridge, Headingley, Kirkstall, Moortown, and Weetwood.
1983–2010: The City of Leeds wards of Cookridge, Headingley, Otley and Wharfedale, and Weetwood.
2010–present: The City of Leeds wards of Adel and Wharfedale, Headingley, Otley and Yeadon, and Weetwood.
The constituency covers the north western part of the metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds, West Yorkshire. It stretches from Yeadon in the north west and Otley in the north east to Headingley in the south in terms of major settlements.
Proposed
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):
- The City of Leeds wards of: Adel and Wharfedale, Guiseley and Rawdon, Horsforth, and Otley and Yeadon.[3]
Headingley and Weetwood in the south of the existing constituency (about 50% of the electorate) are to be included in the newly formed constituency of Leeds Central and Headingley, while Guiseley, Rawdon and Horsforth will be transferred from Pudsey (which is being reconfigured and renamed Leeds West and Pudsey).
History
The constituency was created in 1950, as Leeds North-West; the name was changed by dropping the hyphen in 1955. Before the 1950 general election, Leeds was represented by the constituencies of: Leeds Central, Leeds North, Leeds South, Leeds West, (all created 1885); Leeds North-East and Leeds South-East (both created 1918). There were also constituencies of Batley and Morley (created 1918) and Pudsey and Otley (created 1918 replacing Pudsey). Leeds North West was created before the 1950 election, and at the same time the Pudsey and Otley constituency was abolished, re-creating the Pudsey constituency and moving Otley into the Ripon constituency. The Leeds North West boundary was revised prior to the 1983 general election, bringing in Otley and the nearby villages of Bramhope, Pool-in-Wharfedale and Arthington from the abolition of the Ripon constituency.
The constituency was held for the Conservative Party by Donald Kaberry from its creation in 1950 until his retirement in 1983, and then by Keith Hampson (1983–1997), who had previously been MP for Ripon. It was taken for Labour in the 1997 general election by Harold Best, who was re-elected in the 2001 general election. Best retired at the 2005 general election. The seat was contested for Labour by Judith Blake (at that time Deputy Leader of the Labour Group on Leeds City Council, and later also Labour's candidate in the 2010 general election), but it was taken for the Liberal Democrats by Greg Mulholland. Mulholland was re-elected in 2010 and 2015. Alex Sobel regained the seat for Labour in the 2017 general election,[4] and was re-elected in 2019.[5]
Constituency profile
This constituency has one of the biggest student populations in the country at over a quarter of the electorate;[6] it comprises outer Leeds suburbs that are professional, middle-to-high income and residential.[7]
It was within the Yorkshire and the Humber European Parliament constituency, which from 2019 to 2020 when the UK left the EU was represented by three Brexit Party, one Labour, one Liberal Democrat and one Green Party MEPs.
