Description BBC Profile:
Sutton Coldfield has consistently returned a Conservative MP with considerable majorities since its creation in 1945. The seat was home to former cabinet minister Sir Norman Fowler from 1974 until he stood down in 2001, and then passed to Andrew Mitchell.

Boundary changes mean the new seat looks very similar in its make-up. To find out what might have happened had this boundary change been in force at the last election, see a notional - or estimated - result below.

Sutton Coldfield is a largely middle-class, leafy suburban area on the outskirts of Birmingham.

Large proportions of inhabitants are commuters and work outside the constituency in neighbouring Birmingham.
