History
The constituency was created for the 2010 general election, primarily as the successor to Falmouth and Camborne, following a review of parliamentary representation in Cornwall by the Boundary Commission which increased the number of seats in the county from five to six.[1]
The seat's first MP was George Eustice of the Conservative Party, who served in the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs between 2020 and 2022. He held the seat until he stood down for the 2024 general election, which was won by Perran Moon of the Labour Party.
Constituency profile
This is a large rural seat spanning both coasts of Cornwall where the Conservatives are strongest, but also the former mining towns of Hayle, Camborne and Redruth which are more Labour-leaning. Residents are less wealthy than the UK average.[2]
