Haltemprice (which from 1950 to 1955 was officially known as Kingston upon Hull, Haltemprice) was a constituency in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a traditional sub-division of the historic county of Yorkshire. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created for the 1950 general election, and abolished for the 1983 general election.

Boundaries

1950–1955: The Urban District of Haltemprice, and the County Borough of Kingston-upon-Hull wards of Pickering and St Andrew's.

1955–1983: The Municipal Borough of Beverley, the Urban District of Haltemprice, and the Rural District of Beverley. The two Kingston-upon-Hull wards were transferred to the Hull West constituency.

In the 1983 redistribution, which reflected the major local government boundary changes of 1974, this constituency disappeared. Most of it became the new seat of Beverley, while the remainder of the constituency contributed 11.6% of the new Boothferry seat.
