List of parliamentary constituencies in Humberside

Last updated

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, Kingston upon 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.

Proposed Revision

Proposed boundary changes

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. [3] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.

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 the Isle of Axholme. Five current constituencies would be abolished (Brigg and Goole, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Great Grimsby, and Haltemprice and Howden) and replaced by four new seats wholly within the area (Bridlington and The Wolds, Brigg and Immingham, Goole and Pocklington, and Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes). In addition, as a result of boundary changes, Kingston upon Hull North, and Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle would be renamed Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham, and Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice respectively. [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
