West Worcestershire is a constituency[n 1] in Worcestershire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2010 by Harriett Baldwin, a Conservative.[n 2]
The constituency first existed from 1832 to 1885, formally known as the Western Division of Worcestershire, electing 2 MPs.
The current constituency, created in 1997, is considered a safe seat for the Conservatives, having been a marginal with the Liberal Democrats from 1997 to 2010. The constituency boundaries roughly correspond with the Malvern Hills District.
