    Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[2] Further to the completion of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election, since when it has been represented by Martin McCluskey of Scottish Labour.

    Boundaries

    [edit]

    The constituency is composed of the following:[3][4]

    • The whole of the Inverclyde Council area, comprising the wards of Inverclyde East, Inverclyde East Central, Inverclyde Central, Inverclyde North, Inverclyde South West, Inverclyde South;
    • part of the Renfrewshire Council ward of Bishopton, Bridge of Weir and Langbank (southern area including Bridge of Weir); and
