Birmingham Selly Oak is a constituency[n 1] in the West Midlands, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Alistair Carns of the Labour Party.[n 2]

Boundaries

The seat includes many students and staff from the nearby University of Birmingham. Half of the university's Selly Oak campus is located within the constituency. The Cadbury factory and Cadbury World are also within its boundaries.

1955–1974: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Balsall Heath, Moseley and King's Heath, and Selly Oak.[1]

1974–1983: The County Borough of Birmingham wards of King's Norton, Moseley, and Selly Oak.

1983–1997: The City of Birmingham wards of Bournville, King's Norton, Moseley, and Selly Oak (as they existed on 1 February 1983).

1997–2010: The City of Birmingham wards of Bournville, King's Norton, Moseley, and Selly Oak (as they existed on 1 June 1994).

2010–2018: The City of Birmingham wards of Billesley, Bournville, Brandwood, and Selly Oak.

Major changes, with King's Norton transferred to Birmingham Northfield and Moseley to Birmingham Hall Green. Billesley and Brandwood were transferred from Birmingham Hall Green.

2018–2024: Following a local government boundary review,[2] which did not effect the parliamentary boundaries, the contents of the constituency were as follows with effect from May 2018:

  • The City of Birmingham wards of Bournbrook & Selly Park, Druids Heath & Monyhull, Highter’s Heath, and Stirchley, most of Billesley and Bournville & Cotteridge, the majority of Brandwood & King’s Heath, and a small part of Weoley & Selly Oak.

2024–present: Further to the 2023 periodic review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the 2024 general election, the constituency comprises:

  • The City of Birmingham wards of Billesley; Bournbrook & Selly Park; Bournville & Cotteridge; Druids Heath & Monyhull; Highter’s Heath; Stirchley; part of Brandwood & King’s Heath; and a small area of Weoley & Selly Oak.[3]

Minor differences reflecting the revised ward structure.

History

Since its creation in 1955 the constituency has switched hands three times between Labour and the Conservatives. The seat has progressively swung towards Labour from being a safe Conservative seat; this has been attributed to housing redevelopments that took place in the 1960s and 1970s.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". More recently, it has acquired a reputation for electing outspoken MPs, first with the victory of Anthony Beaumont-Dark of the Conservatives in 1979, and then with his defeat by Lynne Jones of the Labour Party in 1992.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
