The constituency covers the eastern half of Newham, including East Ham, Beckton, Little Ilford and Manor Park.

History

East Ham is generally considered a safe Labour seat; Labour's Ron Leighton was MP for the old Newham North East from 1979 until his death in 1994, Stephen Timms has represented the seat since. The constituency has the largest proportion of non-white people in the UK; there is a significant Asian population, many of whom are Muslims. As a result the RESPECT Coalition have targeted it for the 2005 election, hoping to benefit from opposition to the Iraq war.
