Gedling is a constituency in Nottinghamshire created in 1983 represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Michael Payne of the Labour Party.[n 1][n 2] The seat (and its predecessor, Carlton) was safely Conservative until the Labour Party's landslide victory in 1997, when it was won for Labour by Vernon Coaker. Labour held Gedling until 2019, when it was regained by the Conservative Party,[2] but regained the seat in 2024.
