Proposed boundary changes

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

The Commission have calculated that the number of seats to be allocated to the Yorkshire and the Humber region will be unchanged, at 54. [5]

Notes

  1. BC denotes borough constituency, CC denotes county constituency.
  2. The majority is the number of votes the winning candidate receives more than their nearest rival.
  3. 1 2 3 Many sources list the Kingston upon Hull constituencies as Hull, following the city council's own practice. However, the official names have not adopted the short form.
