==Future boundary changes ==
''See [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]] for further details.''


As part of the [[Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies]] the [[Boundary Commission for England]] has recommended the following constituencies covering Tyne and Wear.<ref>{{cite web |title=Boundary Commission for England - Final Recommendations Volume 1 |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Final-recommendations-report.pdf |publisher=Boundary Commission for England |accessdate=16 September 2018}}</ref>
Following the abandonment of the [[Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies|Sixth Periodic Review]] (the 2018 review), the [[Boundary Commission for England]] formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2023 Review|url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/|access-date=13 October 2021|website=Boundary Commission for England}}</ref> Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.


The commission has proposed that Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside be combined with Northumberland as a sub-region of the North East Region, with the creation of two cross-county boundary constituencies comprising an expanded Hexham seat and a new seat named Cramlington and Killingworth. Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland would be combined with County Durham, resulting in another cross-county boundary constituency, named Blaydon and Consett. The constituencies of [[Blaydon (UK Parliament constituency)|Blaydon]], [[Gateshead (UK Parliament constituency)|Gateshead]], [[Jarrow (UK Parliament constituency)|Jarrow]], [[North Tyneside (UK Parliament constituency)|North Tyneside]], [[Newcastle upon Tyne Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Newcastle upon Tyne Central]], [[Newcastle upon Tyne East (UK Parliament constituency)|Newcastle upon Tyne East]], and [[Washington and Sunderland West (UK Parliament constituency)|Washington and Sunderland West]] would be abolished, and new or re-established constituencies of Gateshead Central and Whickham, Jarrow and Gateshead East, Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West, Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend, and Washington and Gateshead South created.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Political boundaries across the North East could change - here's what it could mean for you |url=https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/23108028.political-boundaries-across-north-east-change/ |access-date=12 December 2022 |website=The Northern Echo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries in England – Volume one: Report |url=https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/2023-review/2023-review-volume-one-report/ |access-date=9 July 2023 |website=Boundary Commission for England |at=paras 643-685}}</ref>

2010 boundary changes

Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to reduce the number of seats in Tyne and Wear from 13 to 12, leading to significant changes. The constituencies of Gateshead East and Washington West, Houghton and Washington East, Sunderland North, Sunderland South, and Tyne Bridge were abolished and replaced with Gateshead, Houghton and Sunderland South, Sunderland Central, and Washington and Sunderland West. Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend became Newcastle upon Tyne East.

Future boundary changes

See 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies for further details.

Following the abandonment of the Sixth Periodic Review (the 2018 review), the Boundary Commission for England formally launched the 2023 Review on 5 January 2021.[3] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.

The commission has proposed that Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside be combined with Northumberland as a sub-region of the North East Region, with the creation of two cross-county boundary constituencies comprising an expanded Hexham seat and a new seat named Cramlington and Killingworth. Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland would be combined with County Durham, resulting in another cross-county boundary constituency, named Blaydon and Consett. The constituencies of Blaydon, Gateshead, Jarrow, North Tyneside, Newcastle upon Tyne Central, Newcastle upon Tyne East, and Washington and Sunderland West would be abolished, and new or re-established constituencies of Gateshead Central and Whickham, Jarrow and Gateshead East, Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West, Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend, and Washington and Gateshead South created.[4][5]

The following seats are proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Gateshead

Containing electoral wards from Newcastle upon Tyne

Containing electoral wards from North Tyneside

  • Cramlington and Killingworth (parts also in Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland)
  • Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend (part)

Containing electoral wards from South Tyneside

Containing electoral wards from Sunderland
