Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency is to be abolished at the next general election: the majority, comprising Fareham and Portchester, is to be included in the new constituency of Fareham and Waterlooville, with the remainder, comprising the villages of Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury, Titchfield and Warsash, forming part of the newly-created constituency of Hamble Valley.[2]
The largest town is Fareham and other communities include Portchester, Locks Heath, Warsash and Titchfield. There are many commuters to Southampton and Portsmouth. The Royal Navy and Merchant Navy have training facilities.[3] Residents are wealthier than the UK average.[4]
The constituency was first created in 1885. In January 1905 the Liberal Party employed Bertha Bowness Foulkes who was Britain's second constituency woman political agent.[5] The constituency was abolished in 1950 and succeeded by Gosport and Fareham but revived in 1974. The constituency has always been represented by Conservatives.
