Parliamentary constituencies are set to change
The independent Boundary Commission for England (BCE) have redrawn the map of constituencies. The BCE submitted their final report to Parliament by 1 July 2023.
The final report and supporting data has been published on the Boundary Commission for England website. The report is in three volumes:
Volume 1 of the BCE report covers the whole of England. Pages 235 to 237 refer to Cornwall.
Volume 2 contains details of each recommended constituency in England. The report includes a South West regional breakdown on the BCE website. Summaries of the Cornwall constituencies show which divisions will be in which constituency.
Volume 3 of the BCE report contains a detailed map of each recommended constituency. The maps of the new constituency boundaries in Cornwall are as follows:
What happens next?
Parliament is expected to publish statutory orders by the end of October 2023.
After that date, the new constituencies will be used for the next general election. (For any by-election that may take place beforehand, existing constituencies would still apply).
