List of Parliamentary constituencies in Staffordshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ceremonial county of Staffordshire (which includes the area of the Stoke-on-Trent unitary authority) is divided into 12 Parliamentary constituencies - 4 Borough constituencies and 8 County constituencies.

Name	Current boundaries	Proposed revision
Burton CC Cannock Chase CC Lichfield CC Newcastle-under-Lyme BC South Staffordshire CC Stafford CC Staffordshire Moorlands CC Stoke-on-Trent Central BC Stoke-on-Trent North BC Stoke-on-Trent South BC Stone CC Tamworth CC

Current proposals by the Boundary Commission for England would retain these 12 constituencies with changes to align with current local government wards, and better to equalise the electorates. These changes are expected to be implemented at the United Kingdom general election, 2009/10.
