Newport East was created when the former [[Newport (Monmouthshire) (UK Parliament constituency)|Newport]] [[borough constituency]] was split into two divisions in 1983. It also included some rural areas formerly part of [[Monmouth (UK Parliament constituency)|Monmouth]] [[county constituency]]. There have been only minor boundary changes since the constituency was created.

It also included some rural areas formerly part of [[Monmouth (UK Parliament constituency)|Monmouth]] [[county constituency]]. There have been only minor boundary changes since the constituency was created, and unlike the neighbouring [[Newport West (UK Parliament constituency)|Newport West]], has remained Labour since its creation.

Newport East (Welsh: Dwyrain Casnewydd) is a constituency[n 1] in the city of Newport, South Wales, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005 by Jessica Morden of the Labour Party.[n 2]

The constituency is to retain its name but its boundaries altered, as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 United Kingdom general election.[3]

History

[edit]

Newport East was created when the former Newport borough constituency was split into two divisions in 1983. It also included some rural areas formerly part of Monmouth county constituency. There have been only minor boundary changes since the constituency was created, and unlike the neighbouring Newport West, has remained Labour since its creation.
