The independent Boundary Commission for England (BCE) has begun a new review of all parliamentary constituencies in England.
The move follows a decision by Parliament in December 2020 to retain the number of constituencies in the UK at 650, and to ensure that there are roughly the same number of electors in each constituency.
Geographical boundaries of the UK’s 650 constituencies will be redrawn to each contain a near equal number of eligible voters. This means the number of electors in each recommended mainland English constituency must be no less than 69,724 and no more than 77,062.

The Conservatives would gain up to 10 seats thanks to boundary changes, analysts have predicted ahead of the new parliamentary constituency review.
Last month the Government passed the Parliamentary Constituencies Act, which will see all 650 constituencies redrawn in order to reflect the changing size of the population.
Figures to be published by the Office for National Statistics on Tuesday will confirm the size of the electorate in March last year and instigate the start of the Boundary Commission s new review, with the final report due in July 2023. Any general election held after this date will be based on the new boundaries.
