Bath is a constituency[n 1] in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom[n 2] represented by Wera Hobhouse of the Liberal Democrats.
Perhaps its best-known representatives have been the two with international profiles: William Pitt the Elder (Prime Minister 1766–1768) and Chris Patten, the last Governor of Hong Kong (1992-1997).[n 3] It has the joint shortest name of any constituency in the current Parliament, with 4 letters, the same as Hove.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes which involves the gain of the Bathavon North ward from the renamed North East Somerset and Hanham constituency to be contested at the 2024 general election.[3]
