Gateshead East (UK Parliament constituency)
(Redirected from Gateshead East)
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox UK constituency Gateshead East was a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1950 to 1997. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
History
Gateshead East, as could be inferred from the name, formed the eastern part of the Borough of Gateshead, now in Tyne and Wear. The constituency was created by the Representation of the People Act 1948 for the 1950 general election when the existing Gateshead seat was split in two. It was abolished for the 1997 general election, when it was largely replaced by the new constituency of Gateshead East and Washington West, with smaller areas going to Tyne Bridge and Jarrow.
It returned Labour MPs for the entire period of its existence.
