Newcastle-under-Lyme is a constituency^{[n 1]} in the Potteries represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2001 by Paul Farrelly of the Labour Party.^{[n 2]}

History

From its creation in 1354, Newcastle-under-Lyme returned two MPs to the House of Commons. Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, the constituency's representation was cut to one member. Among renowned MPs are two of widespread fame. One of the Josiah Wedgwoods who ran the porcelain producer, who was repeatedly reelected to the seat from 1906 until he was ennobled to join the Lords in 1942, as 1st Baron Wedgwood and campaigned in the US for that country to join World War II and for Indian Independence. Before the 20th century the constituency was often influenced and represented by members of the Leveson/Leveson-Gower/Egerton family who owned in this constituency the Trentham estate^{[n 3]} - their most important MP was the Viscount Trentham who obtained a Dukedom.

Constituency profile

This constituency is one of the most loyal Labour Party seats having returned a Labour MP since 1922 when Josiah Wedgwood, 1st Baron Wedgwood joined the Labour Party. However, at the 2010 General Election it was won by Farrelly with a margin of 3%, the smallest margin in a long time with a Conservative increase of +9.4% and a Labour decline of -7.4%.

Boundaries

The constituency includes most of the northerly parts of Newcastle-under-Lyme borough, primarily Newcastle-under-Lyme town plus Keele and Audley.

Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for General Election 2010 since which it has electoral wards, with no alterations in that review:

Audley and Bignall End; Bradwell; Chesterton; Clayton; Cross Heath; Halmerend; Holditch; Keele; Knutton and Silverdale; May Bank; Porthill; Seabridge; Silverdale and Parksite; Thistleberry; Town; Westlands; and Wolstanton in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme^[2]
