Morley and Outwood was a constituency[n 1] in West Yorkshire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.

[n 2] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished.

Subject to boundary changes - losing the City of Wakefield wards, incorporating the district of Outwood and gaining the City of Leeds ward of Farnley and Wortley - it will be reformed as Leeds South West and Morley, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.

Balls narrowly lost the seat at the 2015 general election to the Conservative Party candidate Andrea Jenkyns which was described by Larry Elliott of The Guardian as a "Portillo moment".

Parliament approved the recommendation of the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies to create this new ("cross-border") constituency as a consequence of West Yorkshire losing one parliamentary seat following more rapid population increase in other regions.
