Dewsbury was a constituency[n 1] created in 1868. This seat was represented in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom Parliament since 2019 by Mark Eastwood of the Conservative Party.[n 2]
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to major boundary changes which will involve the loss of largely rural areas to the south, offset by the addition of the town of Batley. As a consequence, it will be renamed Dewsbury and Batley, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
