Great Yarmouth is a constituency in Norfolk represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Rupert Lowe. Elected for Reform UK, Lowe had the whip suspended in March 2025 following allegations of bullying and allegations of threats of physical violence against Reform UK party chairman Zia Yusuf. He now sits an Independent.[2]

## History

[edit]

The Parliamentary Borough of Great Yarmouth had been represented by two members of parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons of England from 1295 to 1707, in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800, and in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1801. The borough was unaffected by the Great Reform Act 1832, but it was disenfranchised for corruption by the Reform Act 1867,[3] when its voters were absorbed into the North Division of the Parliamentary County of Norfolk.

The seat was re-established as a single-member Borough by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885[4] and remained unchanged until the Representation of the People Act 1948, which came into effect for the 1950 general election. This abolished the Parliamentary Borough and replaced it with the County Constituency of Yarmouth, which incorporated the County Borough and surrounding rural areas.

Further to the local government reorganisation of 1974, which was reflected in the redistribution of seats which came into effect for the 1983 general election, the constituency was formally renamed Great Yarmouth and its boundaries coincided with those of the local authority of the Borough of Great Yarmouth. It has remained unchanged since then.

## Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency covers the area in and around Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. Despite its rural area, there is a substantial amount of industry in the constituency.

1885–1918:

* The Municipal Borough of Great Yarmouth, including the parish of Gorleston, and part of the parish of Runham.[5]

1918–1950:

* The County Borough of Great Yarmouth.

1950–1974:

* The County Borough of Great Yarmouth; and
* The Rural District of Blofield and Flegg except the civil parishes of Great and Little Plumstead, Postwick, and Thorpe-next-Norwich (later renamed Thorpe St Andrew).[6]

The parts of the Rural District of Blofield and Flegg had previously been included in the abolished Eastern Division of Norfolk.

1974–1983:

* The County Borough of Great Yarmouth; and
* the Rural District of Blofield and Flegg.[7]

The remaining parishes of the Rural District of Blofield and Flegg were transferred from the abolished constituency of Central Norfolk.

1983–present:

* The Borough of Great Yarmouth.[8]

Thorpe St Andrew was transferred to Norwich North and remaining western parts to the new constituency of Mid Norfolk. Gained a small area from the abolished Suffolk constituency of Lowestoft, including Bradwell, which had been transferred to Norfolk as a result of the local government reorganisation of 1974, as laid out in the Local Government Act 1972.

The boundaries were unchanged by the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies.[9]
