North Tyneside (UK Parliament constituency)

North Tyneside was a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its creation in 1997 until its abolition for the 2024 general election by members of the Labour Party.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished for the 2024 general election, with its contents distributed between Tynemouth, Newcastle upon Tyne North, re-established Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend, and newly created Cramlington and Killingworth as following:[2] This constituency formed north-east suburbs to the largest city in the region, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

At the end of 2010, unemployment still reflected a slightly less strong economy than in the city's shipbuilding heyday and stood in this seat alone at 5.7% by claimant count, compared to a regional average of 5.5%, significantly lower than South Shields' 7.7%.
