Boundaries

Bebington was previously part of the former constituency of Bebington, and Ellesmere Port was transferred from the Wirral constituency.

From major local government boundary changes on 1 April 1974 until the constituency was abolished for the 1983 general election, Ellesmere Port was part of the new Borough of Ellesmere Port and Neston in Cheshire whilst Bebington comprised part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside, but its boundaries remained unchanged.

On abolition in 1983, Bebington became part of the new constituency of Wirral South and Ellesmere Port formed part of the new constituency of Ellesmere Port and Neston.
