Linlithgow and East Falkirk was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, created for use in the 2005 general election. It replaced most of Falkirk East and Linlithgow.
The constituency covered the eastern portion of the Falkirk council area and the western portion of the West Lothian council area.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. Subject to boundary changes, entailing the loss of the areas in Falkirk council, it will be reformed as Bathgate and Linlithgow, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[1] [2]
The constituency was formed for the 2005 United Kingdom general election. It comprised communities from West Lothian and Falkirk council areas. These were Armadale, Avonbridge, Bathgate, Blackness, Blackridge, Boghall, Bo'ness, California, Grangemouth, Greenrigg, Linlithgow, Maddiston, Philpstoun, Reddingmuirhead, Rumford, Slamannan, Torphichen, Wallacestone, Westfield, Whitburn, and Whitecross.[3]
