History

[edit]

Under theFifth Review of UK Parliament constituencies, which came into effect for the2005 general election, the constituency was created asCoatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill. It was the successor to theCoatbridge and Chryston constituency, with the addition of the town ofBellshill from the abolished constituency ofHamilton North and Bellshill.

Further to the completion of the 2023 review, the seat was subject to boundary changes which resulted in the loss ofChryston toCumbernauld and Kirkintilloch. As a consequence, it was renamedCoatbridge and Bellshill, first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]

Traditionally, the area served by the seat and its predecessors was the safestLabour area in Scotland. The area consistently returned Labour MPs from 1935[3] until 2015 when theScottish National Party gained the seat fromScottish Labour on an unprecedented 36% swing, unseating the incumbentTom Clarke MP who had represented the area since the1982 Coatbridge and Airdrie by-election. Since 2015, the seat has changed hands several times. Once back to Labour in 2017, withHugh Gaffney unseating theScottish National Party incumbentPhil Boswell. The seat then swung back to the SNP in 2019, withSteven Bonnar gaining the seat. In 2024, the seat again swung back to Labour withFrank McNally gaining the seat from the SNP incumbent Steven Bonnar.
