Vale of Glamorgan (Welsh: Bro Morgannwg) is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Kanishka Narayan, a Labour MP.[n 2]

It is a bellwether constituency, having been won by the party with a plurality of seats in every general election since the seat was created in 1983.

The constituency is to retain its name but its boundaries altered, as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the 2024 United Kingdom general election.[3]
