Livingston is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, to which it returns one Member of Parliament (MP). Elections are held using the first-past-the-post voting system. It has been represented since 2024 by Gregor Poynton of Scottish Labour.

It was formed from parts of the historic Midlothian and West Lothian constituencies for the 1983 general election. A similar constituency, also called Livingston, was used by the Scottish Parliament until 2011.

Boundaries

1983–1997: The West Lothian District electoral divisions of Broxburn, Calders, Livingston North, and Livingston South; and the City of Edinburgh District ward of Kirkliston.

1997–2005: The West Lothian District electoral divisions of Broxburn/Uphall, Craigshill/Ladywell, Deans/Knightsridge, Dedridge/West Calder, and Murieston/East Calder.

2005–2024: Under the Fifth Review of UK Parliament constituencies which came into effect for the 2005 general election, a small part of the Linlithgow constituency was moved into Livingston. The contents of the constituency were defined as comprising the area of the West Lothian Council other than that part in the Linlithgow and East Falkirk constituency. Further to reviews of local government ward boundaries which came into effect in 2007 and 2017, but did not affect the parliamentary boundaries, the constituency comprised the West Lothian Council wards or part wards of Linlithgow (small part), Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh (apart from a very small area), Livingston North, Livingston South, East Livingston and East Calder, Fauldhouse and the Breich Valley, Whitburn and Blackburn (small part).

2024–present: Further to the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the 2024 general election the constituency comprises the following wards or part wards of West Lothian Council:

As a result of the boundary review, the communities of Winchburgh, Blackburn and Seafield were transferred to the new constituency of Bathgate and Linlithgow.Template:Maplink Template:Maplink


The constituency covers the eastern portion of the West Lothian council area, and is dominated by Livingston. It is bordered by the constituencies of Edinburgh West, Edinburgh South West, Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale, Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke, Airdrie and Shotts, and Bathgate and Linlithgow.

Members of Parliament

The Member of Parliament for this seat had been Robin Cook of the Labour Party since its creation in 1983. Following his death on 6 August 2005, a by-election was held on 29 September, and Jim Devine was elected. On 8 February 2010, Devine was suspended from the Labour Party after he was charged with a criminal offence in relation to his parliamentary expenses. He was succeeded in 2010 by Labour's Graeme Morrice. Morrice was defeated by Hannah Bardell of the Scottish National Party (SNP) five years later. She in turn was defeated by Gregor Poynton in 2024.
