Waveney was a constituency[n 1] of in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament that existed from 1983 to 2024.[n 2] It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency reverted to its previous name of Lowestoft.[2] Other than the town of Bungay, the abolished seat of Waveney has little in common with the new ‘Waveney Valley’ constituency, which covers a predominantly rural area bridging Norfolk and Suffolk.
