List Of United Kingdom Parliament Constituencies

There are 650 constituencies in the United Kingdom, each electing a Member of Parliament to the House of Commons. Voting took place in 649 of those constituencies at the United Kingdom general election on 6 May 2010. In the remaining constituency, Thirsk and Malton, voting was postponed until 27 May due to the death of a candidate.

The number of seats rose from 646 at the 2005 general election after proposals made by the Boundary Commissions for England, Wales and Northern Ireland were adopted through statutory instruments. Constituencies in Scotland remained unchanged, with the Boundary Commission for Scotland having completed a review shortly prior to the 2005 general election.

The electorate figures given in the second column of the tables below are those used by the Commissions during their reviews. These electorate figures date from the start of the review in each country: England, February 2000; Scotland, June 2001; Wales, December 2002; and Northern Ireland, May 2003.

Updated electorate figures from December 2010 have been added for the English, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh constituencies. It is the figures from 2010 upon which the Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies will be based.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Hey, you dress up our town very nicely. You don’t look out the Chamber of Commerce is going to list you in their publicity with the local attractions.
    Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Dr. Matt Hastings (John Agar)

    I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1954)

    Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God—the rest will be given.
    Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    At the ramparts on the cliff near the old Parliament House I counted twenty-four thirty-two-pounders in a row, pointed over the harbor, with their balls piled pyramid-wise between them,—there are said to be in all about one hundred and eighty guns mounted at Quebec,—all which were faithfully kept dusted by officials, in accordance with the motto, “In time of peace prepare for war”; but I saw no preparations for peace: she was plainly an uninvited guest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
