Bristol North East is a borough constituency in the city of Bristol represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since July 2024 by Damien Egan of the Labour Party.[n 1] Egan had originally been elected at a byelection in February 2024 for the abolished constituency of Kingswood.
The constituency was originally created for the 1950 general election, and abolished for the 1983 general election.
The conduct of the 1951 election was the subject of an academic study, published as Straight Fight in 1954 by R. S. Milne and H.C Mackensie.[3]
Further to the completion of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election.[4]
