Selby is a parliamentary constituency in North Yorkshire, represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The constituency existed from 1983 to 2010 prior to reformation in 2024. [2]
This was a safe Conservative seat from 1983 to 1997 then became a Labour marginal for the remainder of its existence.
1983–1997: The District of Selby, and the District of Ryedale ward of Osbaldwick and Heworth.

The constituency covered the district of Selby and the south-eastern suburbs of the city of York (namely the parishes of Fulford, Heslington and Osbaldwick and Heworth Without [3] ). It included the University of York and the Drax and Eggborough power stations.
Following its review of parliamentary representation in York and North Yorkshire in the 2000s, the Boundary Commission for England created a new seat of Selby and Ainsty. The new seat consists of much of the former Selby constituency, minus the south-western suburbs of York which are included in the (also newly created) seat of York Outer, plus rural areas south and east of Harrogate formerly part of the Vale of York constituency.
