North East Somerset is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 creation by Jacob Rees-Mogg, a Conservative who was re-elected in the General Elections of 2015.

The constituency covers the part of Bath and North East Somerset that is not in the Bath constituency and as such contains 21 electoral wards in the Bath and North East Somerset District:

Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which transferred all the electoral wards in Wandsyke constituency save for its four wards in South Gloucestershire to this new seat. To compensate the new seat gained the whole of the large wards in the valley of the City, Bathavon North, and the rest of Bathavon South, both from the Bath constituency.

This area is marked by significant agriculture and green buffers around almost each of its settlements, which largely consist of detached and semi-detached properties, with a low rate of unemployment and negligible dependency on social housing.

* Served in the 2005–2010 Parliament as MP for Wansdyke
