Haltemprice and Howden is a constituency^{[n 1]} in the East Riding of Yorkshire represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1997 by David Davis, a Conservative who was also Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union until his resignation from that role on 8 July 2018.^{[2][n 2]}

The seat is due to be abolished for the next general election.^[3]

The Electoral Reform Society considers it to be historically the safest seat in the country, after North Shropshire was lost to the Liberal Democrats in 2021. Taking into account the previous seats roughly covering its boundaries, the Society considers that the seat has been held continuously by the Conservative Party since the 1837 general election.^[5]

The constituency is named after the region of Haltemprice and covers a large, wide area stretching from the border of Hull in the east to Howden in the west and northwards to Holme-on-Spalding-Moor towards York in the Yorkshire Wolds. The bulk of the population is centred in the villages of Willerby, Kirk Ella, Anlaby and Cottingham, which were part of the former district of Haltemprice, which was abolished in 1974. Rural Howdenshire forms the bulk of the geographical area of the constituency but provides only a small part of the total electorate.

The constituency includes many towns and villages along the A63 corridor including, Brough, Elloughton, South Cave, North Ferriby, Swanland, Gilberdyke, Newport, Welton and Melton.

2010–present: The District of East Riding of Yorkshire wards of Cottingham North, Cottingham South, Dale, Howden, Howdenshire, South Hunsley, Tranby, and Willerby and Kirk Ella. 1997–2010: The Borough of Boothferry wards of East Derwent, East Howdenshire, Gilberdyke, Holme upon Spalding Moor, Howden, Mid Howdenshire, and North Cave, and the East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley wards of Anlaby, Brough, Castle, Kirk Ella, Mill Beck and Croxby, Priory, Skidby and Rowley, South Cave, Springfield, Swanland, and Willerby.

The constituency was created for the 1997 general election, covering an area previously part of the Beverley and Boothferry constituencies. In 1997, it returned the Conservative David Davis, who had previously been the member for Boothferry; he was re-elected in the 2001, 2005 and 2010 general elections.

The area was placed as 10th most affluent in the country in the 2003 Barclays Private Clients survey.^[6] Election results but one to date suggest a Safe seat, with the 2001 result being an exception when the Conservative majority was cut to less than 2,000 votes. However, no party has come as near since then.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be abolished for the next general election, with its contents distributed three ways:^[3]

• Howden and North Ferriby, with rural areas in between, to the successor constituency of Goole and Pocklington
• Cottingham to Kingston upon Hull North (to be renamed Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham)
• Anlaby, Willerby and Kirk Ella to Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle (to be renamed Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice)
