List of Parliamentary constituencies in Humberside, Northern England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Humberside was abolished in 1996 both as a county council and a non-metropolitan county, being succeeded by 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 the county still existed. For the review which came into effect for the 2010 general election, the four unitary authorities were considered together,[1] and for the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, coming into effect for the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England considered the area comprising the former county of Humberside with the county of South Yorkshire as a sub-region of Yorkshire and the Humber.[2]
The area is divided into 10 parliamentary constituencies – 4 borough constituencies and 6 county constituencies, one of which includes parts of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster.

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.
For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine the four unitary authorities which make up the former county of 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 were 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, Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes, Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham and Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice).[3][4][5]
The following constituencies were created:
Containing electoral wards from East Riding of Yorkshire
- Beverley and Holderness
- Bridlington and The Wolds
- Goole and Pocklington
- Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham (part)
- Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice (part)
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 Lincolnshire

- Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme CC (part also in the South Yorkshire metropolitan borough of Doncaster)

2010
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
- The majority is the number of votes the winning candidate receives more than their nearest rival.
- 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.
- Doncaster East and The Isle of Axholme is a cross-county constituency. As the results of UK general elections are not disclosed on a sub-constituency level, the constituency's vote shares have been omitted
