Boundary review

2024 map of Scottish constituencies

In March 2020, Cabinet Office minister Chloe Smith confirmed that the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies would be based on retaining 650 seats.[3][4] The previous relevant legislation was amended by the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020[5] and the four boundary commissions formally launched their 2023 reviews on 5 January 2021.[6][7][8][9] They were required to issue their final reports prior to 1 July 2023. The Scottish commission published its own report on 28 June.[10][11] As the reports were laid before Parliament, Orders in Council giving effect to the final proposals must be made within four months, unless "there are exceptional circumstances". Prior to the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020, boundary changes could not be implemented until they were approved by both Houses of Parliament.

Fifty-seven single member constituencies will be used in Scotland for this election, a reduction of two since 2019. A number of constituencies are unchanged, including the two protected constituencies of Na h-Eileanan an Iar covering the Western Isles, and Orkney and Shetland, covering the Northern Isles.[12]
