Frome and East Somerset

Frome and East Somerset is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. It was first contested at the 2024 general election. It was created from the parts of the former constituencies of Somerton and Frome and North East Somerset as a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies. It has been represented since 2024 by Anna Sabine of the Liberal Democrats.
