Bridgwater and West Somerset was a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Ian Liddell-Grainger, a Conservative.[n 2]
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes, with the loss of the area comprising the former District of West Somerset to the newly created constituency of Tiverton and Minehead. This will be partly offset by the addition of the communities of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge. As a consequence of these changes, the constituency will revert to its former name of Bridgwater, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.
