North Shropshire[n 1] is a constituency[n 2] which was represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1997 by Owen Paterson, a Conservative.[n 3] Paterson resigned his seat on 5 November 2021,[2] when faced with the possibility of a suspension from the Commons for a breach of advocacy rules and the consequent possibility of a recall petition.[3] As a result, a by-election will take place on 16 December 2021.
Constituency profile
The area is rural and north of Shrewsbury, west of Newcastle-under-Lyme in the Stoke conurbation, south of Cheshire and Wrexham, having five small towns. Residents' health and wealth are similar to UK averages.[4]
History
From its first creation in 1832 to the abolition of the first creation in 1885 it covered approximately half of the county and elected two members, formally Knights of the Shire. In 1885 the county was (together with South Shropshire) - divided between four constituencies: Ludlow, Newport, Oswestry and Wellington.
In 1983 the constituency was revived in a smaller form and elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Owen Paterson was appointed to be the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in May 2010 and from the September 2012 Cabinet reshuffle, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs,[5] until another reshuffle in June 2014. Paterson resigned in November 2021 for breaching Commons lobbying rules while working for two firms as a consultant.
Boundaries
1832–1885: The Hundreds of Oswestry, Pimhill, North Bradford and South Bradford, and the Liberty of Shrewsbury.[6]
1983–1997: The District of North Shropshire, the Borough of Oswestry, and the District of The Wrekin wards of Church Aston, Edgmond, Ercall Magna, Newport East, Newport North, and Newport West.
1997–present: The District of North Shropshire, and the Borough of Oswestry.
The district councils of North Shropshire and Oswestry were abolished in 2009.
