2010 boundary changes

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided that North Yorkshire should continue to be divided into 8 constituencies for the 2010 general election, but the boundaries were extensively redrawn in the south-eastern part to accommodate exactly two seats wholly within the recently formed unitary authority of York. The Vale of York was abolished and a new constituency named York Outer created, with City of York being renamed York Central. Ryedale was succeeded by Thirsk and Malton, and Selby was renamed Selby and Ainsty.

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 North Yorkshire be combined with West Yorkshire as a sub-region of the Yorkshire and the Humber Region, resulting in the creation of two new cross-county boundary constituencies: Selby which comprises the majority of the abolished constituency of Selby and Ainsty and includes the City of Leeds ward of Kippax and Methley; and a new constituency named Wetherby and Easingwold which includes the City of Leeds wards of Harewood and Weatherby. It is proposed that Richmond (Yorks) is renamed Richmond and Northallerton.[4][5]

The following constituencies are proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Craven

Containing electoral wards from Hambleton

Containing electoral wards from Harrogate

Containing electoral wards from Richmondshire

  • Richmond and Northallerton (part)

Containing electoral wards from Ryedale

  • Thirsk and Malton (part)

Containing electoral wards from Scarborough

Containing electoral wards from Selby

  • Selby (part also in the City of Leeds in West Yorkshire)
  • Weatherby and Easingwold (part)1

Containing electoral wards from York

1 also contains parts in the City of Leeds in West Yorkshire
