Morley was a parliamentary constituency centred on the town of Morley in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post system.
The 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies proposed to re-establish the seat in its revised proposal.[1]
The constituency was created when the two-member Southern West Riding of Yorkshire constituency was divided by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 for the 1885 general election. It was abolished for the 1918 general election, when it was partly replaced by the new Batley and Morley constituency.
