Bethnal Green and Stepney was a parliamentary constituency in east London, which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1983 until it was abolished for the 1997 general election.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be re-established for the next general election. It will be largely based on the existing seat of Bethnal Green and Bow but excluding the communities of Bow, Old Ford and Hackney Wick.

History

The constituency was only ever represented by the former cabinet minister Peter Shore, who held the seat for the Labour Party from its creation in 1983 to its abolition in 1997.

Boundaries

The constituency was made up of nine electoral wards of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets: Holy Trinity, Redcoat, St Dunstan's, St James', St Katharine's, St Mary's, St Peter's, Spitalfields, and Weavers. It was abolished in 1997, and largely replaced by the larger Bethnal Green and Bow constituency, in line with the Boundary Commission's recommendation that one seat should be lost in the paired boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham. 297 electors moved to the new Cities of London and Westminster constituency.

Proposed

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the re-established constituency from the next general election, due by January 2025, will be (as they existed on 1^st December 2020):

• The London Borough of Tower Hamlets wards of: Bethnal Green; St. Dunstan’s; St. Peter’s; Shadwell; Spitalfields & Banglatown; Stepney Green; Weavers; Whitechapel.

Apart from Shadwell and a small part of Whitechapel ward, currently part of Poplar and Limehouse, the constituency will replace Bethnal Green and Bow - excluding Bow, which will be included in the newly created seat of Stratford and Bow.
