List of parliamentary constituencies in Humberside

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

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.[1] 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, and adopted by parliament, resulting in the new constituencies first being contested at the 2024 general election.

The commission opted to combine Humberside 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, which encompassed part of the former Brigg and Goole constituency. Seven existing constituencies would be abolished (Brigg and Goole, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Great Grimsby, Haltemprice and Howden, Kingston upon Hull North and Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle) and replaced by six new seats wholly within the area (Bridlington and The Wolds, Brigg and Immingham, Goole and Pocklington, and Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes, Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham and Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice).[2][3][4]

The following constituencies were created:

Containing electoral wards from East Riding of Yorkshire

Containing electoral wards from Kingston upon Hull

  • Kingston upon Hull East
  • Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham (part)
  • Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice (part)

Containing electoral wards from North East Lincolnshire

Containing electoral wards from North Lincolnshire

  • Brigg and Immingham (part)

2010

[edit]

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain the 10 constituencies covering the former county of Humberside for the 2010 election, making minor changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The majority is the number of votes the winning candidate receives more than their nearest rival.
  2. ^ a b c Many sources list the Kingston upon Hull constituencies as Hull, following the city council's own practice. However, the official names have not adopted the short form.
