2000 West Bromwich West by-election
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".The 2000 West Bromwich West by-election was a by-election held on 23 November 2000 for the House of Commons constituency of West Bromwich West.
The constituency's Member of Parliament (MP) was the Rt. Hon. Betty Boothroyd, the Speaker. She resigned from the House of Commons as an MP and as Speaker on 23 October 2000, triggering a writ to move the by-election.
In 1997 the major parties had observed a recent tradition by not opposing the Speaker seeking re-election. On its return to partisan politics the seat reverted to Labour, in a similar result to that seen in 1992.
