Mid Cheshire is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. It is represented by Andrew Cooper of the Labour Party.
It was formerly a two-member United Kingdom parliamentary constituency which existed in the 19th century.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was re-established as a single-member seat and was first contested at the 2024 general election.
History
Under the Reform Act 1867, the Parliamentary County of Cheshire was divided into three 2-member constituencies. This was achieved by the creation of Mid Cheshire which comprised the Hundred of Bucklow from North Cheshire and the Hundred of Northwich from South Cheshire.
Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, the three 2-member seats were abolished and re-divided into eight single-member constituencies: Altrincham, Crewe, Eddisbury, Hyde, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Northwich and Wirral.
Boundaries
1868–1885: The Hundreds of Bucklow and Northwich.
