 List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies at AllExperts
Constituency boundaries are subject to regular review by an independent Boundary Commission, usually once every 10 to 15 years, to keep the electorate of each constituency as close to the national average as is reasonably possible.
Constituencies were long based on boroughs (burghs in Scotland) and counties.
Today, constituencies in England are mostly subdivisions of administrative counties, with each constituency being comprised of a number of whole wards (for the purposes of the Boundary Commissions, unitary authorities, metropolitan boroughs and London boroughs are treated as separate administrative counties).
