New plans to cut the number of Welsh MPs and create new constituencies

The Boundary Commission for Wales has today published its revised proposals for the new map of Parliamentary constituencies which will come into force at the next ordinary general election.

Under the rules, each constituency proposed by the commission for Wales must contain between 69,724 and 77,062 electors. The only exception to this rule is Ynys Môn which is a protected constituency, and therefore sees no changes to its name, designation, or boundaries suggested in these proposals.

The revised proposals see changes to the majority of constituencies initially proposed by the Commission in September 2021, and changes are proposed to every existing constituency. This table shows the current 40 constituencies and the proposed 32 that will replace them. You can also see all the maps of the new boundaries here.
