Solihull West and Shirley is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. The constituency was created as a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and was first contested at the 2024 general election.[2] The constituency name refers to the suburban town of Shirley and the western areas of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull.[3] This is part of a boundary review that resulted in the borough being split between three Westminster constituencies.[4]
