Dudley was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Dudley in Worcestershire (now in the West Midlands) which existed between 1832 and 1974. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be re-established for the 2024 general election, formed from the current seat of Dudley North with the addition of one ward from the disappearing Dudley South constituency.[1]
History[edit]
The borough of Dudley returned two members to Parliament in 1294, Benedict Andrew and Ralph Clerk de Duddlegh, but not to any subsequent one.[2]
The constituency was created by the Reform Act 1832 for the 1832 general election. It was abolished for the February 1974 general election, when it was replaced by the new Dudley East and Dudley West constituencies, which expanded beyond the town's historic boundaries to include Coseley and part of Sedgley in Dudley East (previously in the old Bilston constituency), as well as Kingswinford, Brierley Hill, and the remainder of Sedgley in Dudley West. All of these areas had been incorporated into the Dudley borough in 1966.[3]
In the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was decided that Dudley would return as a constituency, made up of the current Dudley North wards as well as the added Brockmoor and Pensnett wards.
Boundaries[edit]
1918–1950: The County Borough of Dudley, and the parish of Dudley Castle Hill.
1950–1974: The County Borough of Dudley, and the Borough of Stourbridge.
Proposed[edit]
The re-established constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
- The Metropolitan Borough of Dudley wards of: Brockmoor and Pensnett; Castle and Priory; Gornal; St. James’s; St. Thomas’s; Sedgley; Upper Gornal and Woodsetton.[4]
It will comprise the whole of the current Dudley North constituency with the addition of the Brockmoor and Pensnett ward from Dudley South (to be abolished), thus bringing the electorate within the permitted range.
