Meriden and Solihull East is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested in the 2024 general election.[2] The constituency name refers to the village of Meriden and the eastern areas of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull.[3] This is part of a boundary review that resulted in the Meriden constituency being split into three.[4]
