Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which came into effect for the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the constituency was expanded to bring the electorate within the permitted range, by adding the South Tyneside ward of Cleadon and East Boldon, transferred from the abolished Jarrow constituency.[10]
Members of Parliament
editThe seat was held from 2001 to 2013 by David Miliband, who served as Foreign Secretary from 2007 until Labour's general election defeat of 2010. On 26 March 2013 Miliband announced his resignation from Parliament in order to take up a post as the head of the International Rescue Committee in New York City.[11]
With two exceptions (Arthur Blenkinsop and Emma Lewell-Buck) every South Shields MP since 1929 has been a cabinet member at some point in their career. However, Blenkinsop was a junior minister, and Lewell-Buck has been a shadow minister. Two of them, Chuter Ede (Home Secretary) and Miliband (Foreign Secretary), have held one of the Great Offices of State while MP for South Shields.
The Open Spaces Society in 2013 observed that there has been a tradition of South Shields MPs, from Chuter Ede onwards, promoting the cause of public access and common land.[21]
