Morley and Rothwell is a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Contents

The constituency covers the West Yorkshire towns of Morley and Rothwell, the villages that surround the towns, and the old pit village of Middleton.

Following their review of parliamentary representation in West Yorkshire, the Boundary Commission for England have created a number of modified constituencies as a consequence of a falling population.

A new constituency of Elmet and Rothwell has been created to move Rothwell from this seat. The successor seat to Morley and Rothwell is Morley and Outwood, which attaches wards from Wakefield to the Morley area. Middleton is being transferred to the Leeds Central seat.
