Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, 1832–1885 & 2024 onwards
North Northumberland is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom . It is represented by David Smith of the Labour Party since 2024. Between 1832 and 1885 (then formally the Northern Division of Northumberland ) , it was represented by two Members of Parliament , elected by the bloc vote system.
The area was created by the Great Reform Act of 1832 by the splitting of Northumberland constituency into Northern and Southern divisions.

Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies , the seat was re-established for the 2024 general election . It comprises the former constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed , together with the town of Morpeth , transferred from the former Wansbeck seat.
