Constituency profile

This safe Labour seat covers most the city of Kingston upon Hull east of the River Hull, excluding for the Bransholme estate which lies in the Hull North constituency. It is a constituency of diversity, divided by Holderness Road, it can be split into two very separate areas. It includes the now-redeveloped residential Victoria Docks, which can be considered alongside Sutton Village, Garden Village and the private housing suburbs to the north of East Park. Away from the prestigious dockside developments and middle-class suburbs, the southern area of the constituency is largely social housing with a large amount of unemployment and underemployment^[2] alongside the vast docks and industrial estates.

History

In the early years of the constituency, it continually changed hands between the Conservative Party and the then-Liberal Party. Hull East has returned Labour MPs since 1935, and from 1945 to 2010 was represented by only two members, former seamen, Harry Pursey and John Prescott (who became Deputy Prime Minister, in charge of at the time town and country planning policy).
