Gosport (UK Parliament constituency)

Gosport (/ˈɡɒspɔːrt/ GOS-port) is a parliamentary constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Caroline Dinenage of the Conservative Party.

Gosport post town comprises several distinct villages and neighbourhoods on the south coast of England in Hampshire whereas the constituency comprises the whole of Gosport Borough (including Lee-on-the-Solent and Alverstoke) and includes Stubbington and Hill Head from the neighbouring Fareham Borough.

Gosport has, to date, been a Conservative safe seat, as an area with a majority of privately owned properties that has a minority of poor residents.

Beside its bowling green, allotments and recreation ground lies the Grade I-architecture of St Mary's Church.

David Cameron instructed Sir Peter not to stand for re-election after his nationally infamous attempt to claim for a duck house during the MPs' expenses scandal.
