The ceremonial county of Derbyshire (which includes the unitary authority of Derby) is divided into 11 parliamentary constituencies: three borough constituencies and eight county constituencies.
Constituencies
2010 boundary changes
Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to increase the number of seats which covered Derbyshire from 10 to 11, with the re-establishment of Mid Derbyshire. As a consequence of resulting boundary changes, West Derbyshire was renamed Derbyshire Dales.
Proposed 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. 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 recommendations were published on 28 June 2023.
The commission has proposed retaining the current number of constituencies in Derbyshire, as detailed below, with minor boundary changes to reflect changes to electoral wards within the county and to bring the electorates within the statutory range.
