West Ham was a constituency[n 1] created in 1997 and represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament from 2005 until its abolition for the 2024 general election by Lyn Brown, a member of the Labour Party.[n 2]
Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished and the majority incorporated into the new constituency of West Ham and Beckton. The two Forest Gate wards, Stratford and New Town, and the Green Street West ward now form the majority of the new constituency of Stratford and Bow.[2]
