Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox UK constituency main Leyton and Wanstead is a constituencyTemplate:Refn in Greater London created in 1997 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Calvin Bailey of the Labour Party.Template:Refn

History

The seat arose from the enacting of the recommendations of the fourth periodic review of Westminster constituencies of the Boundary Commission for England to take account of demographic population change and seek to equalise electorates whilst in preference retaining the historic connections with the local authorities of the United Kingdom.

Political history

The constituency has consistently elected Labour Party MPs (Members of Parliament); the narrowest winning majority was 16%; the greatest, 49%, in 2017. Harry Cohen was MP for the Leyton area from 1983 and this seat from 1997. Cohen retired before the 2010 election, after which the seat was retained by John Cryer.Template:Refn At the time of the 2015 result, the seat was the 46th safest of Labour's 232 seats by percentage of majority.[1]

Constituency profile

This seat combines deprived and economic-cycle vulnerable areas around Leyton[2] with the more affluent, resilient Wanstead area. It is an ethnically diverse area, with the biggest minority groups being Pakistani British and Caribbean British, although it has fewer ethnic minority constituents than in the London Borough of Newham.[3]
