The constituency of West Worcestershire was first created in 1832 in the
Reform Act which radically changed the boundries of many British parliametary constituencies. It was created by the division of the old constituency of Worcestershire (which had existed since 1660) into Worcestershire West and
Worcestershire East . The seat then existed, basically unchanged, until 1885. In that year it was abolished and the constituency was variously incorporated into the seats of
Bewdley ,
Droitwich ,
Evesham ,
Worcestershire East and
Worcestershire North .Throughout the period 1832 to 1885 it was a two member constituency (meaning that as a constituency it returned two MPs) It was then re-formed in 1997 and is currently represented by Sir
Michael Spicer , who is best known as the chairman of the
Conservative 's group of backbench MPs the
1922 Committee .
