Boundaries
Following the latest review of parliamentary representation in Bedfordshire, the Boundary Commission for England made only minor changes to the existing constituencies in time for the 2010 general election.
The Mid Bedfordshire seat has been formed from electoral wards under the Borough of Bedford and Central Bedfordshire.
- From Bedford Borough Council: Turvey, Wilshamstead and Wootton.
- From Central Bedfordshire Council: Ampthill, Aspley Guise, Barton-le-Clay, Clifton and Meppershall, Cranfield, Flitton, Greenfield and Pulloxhill, Flitwick East, Flitwick West, Harlington, Houghton, Haynes, Southill and Old Warden, Marston, Maulden and Clophill, Shefford, Campton and Gravenhurst, Shillington, Streatley, Stondon and Henlow Camp, Silsoe, Toddington, Westoning and Tingrith and Woburn.
These are the former South Bedfordshire and Mid Bedfordshire council wards that were used to create the constituency at the most recent boundary review. Since the creation of the Central Bedfordshire unitary authority in 2009, different wards have been used for the election of local councillors.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“It is the story-teller’s task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
