Humberside was abolished in 1996 both as a county council and a ceremonial county, but the name Humberside continues to be used unofficially in subsequent boundary reviews as presented by the Boundary Commission for England to describe the area covered by the former county for the purpose of the rules which strongly deter cross-council constituencies (spanning more than one local authority within its area). The area covers the four unitary authorities of East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire The constituency boundaries used up to the 2005 United Kingdom general election were drawn up when it was a county. The area is divided into 10 Parliamentary constituencies – 4 Borough constituencies and 6 County constituencies.

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.
Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021 and published their initial proposals on 8 June 2021. [3]
The commission has proposed that Humberside be combined with South Yorkshire as a sub-region of the Yorkshire and the Humber Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency named Doncaster East and Axholme. Six current constituencies would be abolished (Beverley and Holderness, Brigg and Goole, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Great Grimsby, and Haltemprice and Howden) and replaced by five new seats wholly within the area (Beverley and The Wolds, Bridlington and Holderness, Goole and Haltemprice, Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes, and South Humber). [4] [5] [6]
The following constituencies are proposed:
Containing electoral wards from East Riding of Yorkshire
Containing electoral wards from Kingston upon Hull
Containing electoral wards from North East Lincolnshire
Containing electoral wards from North Lincolnshire
Revised proposals will be published in late 2022 and the final report will be submitted in June 2023.
