;History of boundaries The 2007 review by the
Boundary Commission for England recommended the creation of this seat and
Plymouth Moor View, which was duly approved by Parliament. It is largely based on the former
Plymouth Sutton. To this is added smaller parts of the former
Plymouth Devonport seat. ;History of results This constituency was won on creation in 2010 by a
Conservative,
Oliver Colvile. In 2015, against opinion polls for losing, Colvile held it (but narrowly) over the Labour candidate Luke Pollard. The 2015 result gave the seat the 7th most marginal majority of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority. In 2017, Pollard defeated Colvile to gain the seat with a majority of 6,807; originally, the majority was declared as 6,002, but a spreadsheet error meant the votes from the Efford and Lipson wards were not included in the declaration on the night of the count. Additionally about 35,000 postal voters received two polling cards, and some postal votes were not sent out. ==Members of Parliament==
