The constituency's Member of Parliament (MP) was the Rt. Hon. Betty Boothroyd, the Speaker. She resigned from the House of Commons as an MP and as Speaker on 23 October 2000, triggering a writ to move the by-election.
In 1997 the major parties had observed a recent tradition by not opposing the Speaker seeking re-election. On its return to partisan politics the seat reverted to Labour, in a similar result to that seen in 1992.
