History The constituency was established in 1974, in part replacing the former Bilston constituency. It has returned Labour MPs throughout its existence, thus making it unique amongst Wolverhampton's three current constituencies. Robert Edwards of the Labour and Co-operative parties, who had represented Bilston since 1955, was the constituency's first MP. He served until 1987, when he was succeeded by Dennis Turner (also Labour Co-operative), who stood down in 2005. Pat McFadden of the Labour Party has been the MP since then. Following the 2019 general election, it is the only one of the three Wolverhampton seats to be held by Labour. The last time this was the case was in the 1987-92 Parliament, when the same two of the three Wolverhampton seats were Conservative-held.
