title: Birmingham All Saints (UK Parliament constituency)
text: # Birmingham All Saints (UK Parliament constituency)
  
  Birmingham All Saints was a parliamentary constituency in the city of Birmingham, which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Elections were held using the first-past-the-post voting system.
  
  The constituency was created in 1955 and abolished in 1974.
  
  ## Boundaries
  
  The County Borough of Birmingham wards of All Saints', Rotton Park, and Soho.
  
  Before this seat's creation in 1955 the area (part of the city of Birmingham in the geographic county of Warwickshire) was divided between Birmingham Ladywood (All Saints and Rotton Park wards) and Birmingham Handsworth (Soho ward).
  
  The seat was located in the west of the central part of the city, within its boundaries in 1955. To the west was Smethwick, to the north Birmingham Handsworth, to the east Birmingham Ladywood and to the south Birmingham Edgbaston.
  
  In the 1974 redistribution, this constituency disappeared. The three wards which had comprised the seat were added to Ladywood ward to form the redrawn Birmingham Ladywood constituency; this seat's last MP, Labour's Brian Walden, contested and won the new Ladywood seat.
