Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies , enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the constituency from the 2024 general election remained unchanged.[2]
As its name suggests, the constituency covers the northern portion of the city of Portsmouth in Hampshire .
History
The constituency was created in 1918 when the two-seat Portsmouth constituency was split into three divisions: Central , North and South .
It was abolished for the 1950 general election and largely replaced by a new Portsmouth West constituency as the axis of division changed, but was re-established for the February 1974 general election .
Constituency profile
This urban seat is of average affluence[3] and incomes, with relatively low unemployment compared to the national average measured at the end of 2012 at 3.8% (claimant count) as opposed to 2.3% average across the region.[4]
Taken together with Portsmouth West, it has been one of the most long-standing bellwethers (of the national election winner), having that status since 1966.
