Exeter /ˈɛksətər/ is a constituency^{[n 1]} composed of the cathedral city and county town of Devon represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. ^{[n 2]} The constituency has had a history of representatives from 1900 of Conservative, Liberal Party, Independent and Labour representation.

The 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies proposes that the suburb of Pinhoe will move into the new constituency of Exmouth and Exeter East.^[3]

History

The constituency has been held by Labour since 1997.

The Labour Party currently has a majority of over 10,000, suggesting this is a safe seat for the party.

Constituency profile

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2020)

The constituency covers the majority of the city, including the University and the Met Office which are significant employers.^[4] As of 2022^[update], median gross weekly in pay for full-time workers is below the figure for Great Britain as a whole but above that for South West England. Median hourly pay, however, is below that for both the region and for Great Britain. There are a large number of students for a small city.^[5]

Boundaries

1918–1950: The County Borough of Exeter.

1950–1974: As prior but with redrawn boundaries.

1974–1983: As prior but with redrawn boundaries.

1983–2010: The City of Exeter.

2010–present: The City of Exeter wards of Alphington, Cowick, Duryard, Exwick, Heavitree, Mincinglake, Newtown, Pennsylvania, Pinhoe, Polsloe, Priory, St David's, St James, St Leonard's, St Thomas, and Whipton and Barton.

The constituency covers most of the city of Exeter in Devon. It covered the entire city from 1918 until 2010, when, under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which increased the number of seats in the county from 11 to 12, two wards of the City of Exeter (St Loyes and Topsham) were transferred to the neighbouring East Devon constituency.^[6]

From the 2024 general election: Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the 2024 general election, the constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):

• The City of Exeter wards of: Alphington; Duryard & St. James; Exwick; Heavitree; Mincinglake & Whipton; Newtown & St. Leonard’s; Pennsylvania; Priory; St. David’s; St. Thomas.^[7]

After adjustments to align with revised ward boundaries, the Pinhoe ward was transferred to the new constituency of Exmouth and Exeter East, in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range.
