List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies
This is a list of the 646
constituencies currently represented in the
House of Commons of the
United Kingdom Parliament, as at the
2005 general election. Each constituency is represented by a single
Member of Parliament (MP).
Constituency boundaries are subject to regular review by an independent
Boundary Commission, usually once every 10 to 15 years, to keep the electorate of each constituency as close to the national average as is reasonably possible. New constituencies may be created, or existing ones abolished, by these reviews. For the list of recommended constituencies following the current review see
Constituencies in the next United Kingdom general electionConstituencies were long based on
boroughs (
burghs in
Scotland) and
counties. Today, constituencies in
England are mostly subdivisions of
administrative counties, with each constituency being comprised of a number of whole
wards (for the purposes of the Boundary Commissions,
unitary authorities,
metropolitan boroughs and
London boroughs are treated as separate administrative counties). In Scotland, constituencies are subdivisions of
council areas, and in
Wales they are subdivisions of the
preserved counties.
Northern Ireland is reviewed as a whole, and constituency boundaries may cross all district borders.
In some cases, particularly in urban areas, two or more administrative counties or council areas may be combined together to form a single review area, so that particularly large or small constituencies are not created. For example, if two adjacent areas are entitled to 1.5 constituencies each, they may be combined together and awarded three constituencies, rather than having two constituencies each, all of which would be well below the average constituency electorate.
The Parliament of 2001 contained representatives from 659 constituencies. Most of the current constituency boundaries were last reviewed in the early 1990s, and are therefore based on administrative boundaries prior to the last series of
local government boundary changes. However, a Boundary Commission for Scotland review in February 2005 resulted in the reorganisation of most Scottish constituencies to adjust for the historic over-representation of Scotland. This reduced the number of constituencies in Scotland by 13, from 72 down to the current 59. The Parliament of 2005 therefore had 646 representatives.
