The County Borough of Birmingham wards of Acock's Green and Hall Green.
Before 1945 the area formed part of the Birmingham Moseley constituency. That division had over 100,000 electors and was considered to be overlarge. As an interim measure, before the Boundary Commission for England carried out the first periodic review of Parliamentary boundaries, it was authorised by the House of Commons Act 1944 to divide the largest constituencies.
In the first periodic review, which was given effect by the Representation of the People Act 1948, Acock's Green ward became part of Birmingham Yardley and Hall Green ward gave its name to the new seat of Birmingham Hall Green.Members of Parliament
