South West Surrey was a constituency[n 1] in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.[n 2] Since its 1983 creation, South West Surrey has been represented only by members of the Conservative Party. From 2005, the seat's MP was Jeremy Hunt, who served as chancellor of the Exchequer until 2024, and the former Culture Secretary, Health Secretary and Foreign Secretary.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency was abolished. Subject to major boundary changes - including the combination of the western part of the seat, including the towns of Farnham and Haslemere and comprising the majority of the electorate, with parts of the District of East Hampshire - it will be reformed as Farnham and Bordon, to be first contested at the 2024 general election. Godalming and the area of the North Downs to the south will be included in the newly created constituency of Godalming and Ash.[2]
