Bromsgrove is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom since 2010 by Sajid Javid of the Conservative Party.
1950-1974: The Urban Districts of Bromsgrove and Redditch, and the Rural District of Bromsgrove.
1983-present: The District of Bromsgrove.
The constituency covers the same area as Bromsgrove District Council in north Worcestershire, with twenty civil parishes. It includes the villages of Alvechurch, Barnt Green, Belbroughton, Blackwell, Clent, Cofton Hackett, Hagley, Hollywood, Lickey, Marlbrook, Rubery, Tardebigge and Wythall.
The borough of Bromsgrove returned two members (Thomas Rassall and Thomas Barneford) to the original Model Parliament in 1295. However, borough status appeared lost when no other member was sent to any subsequent parliament under that status.
Since its split from the neighbouring Redditch Constituency in 1983, it has returned a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP).
