Proposed boundary changes
[edit]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. The Commission calculated that the number of seats to be allocated to the North West region would be reduced by two, from 75 to 73.[8] Initial proposals were published on 8 June and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
Under the proposals, the following constituencies for the region came into effect at the 2024 general election: [9]
