Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to reduce the number of seats in West Yorkshire from 23 to 22, leading to significant changes in the Cities of Leeds and Wakefield, with the abolition of Elmet, Morley and Rothwell, Normanton, and Pontefract and Castleford and the creation of Elmet and Rothwell, Morley and Outwood, and Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford. Bradford North was renamed  Bradford East. 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 and published their initial proposals on 8 June 2021. The commission has proposed that West Yorkshire be combined with North Yorkshire as a sub-region of the Yorkshire and the Humber Region, resulting in the creation of two new cross-county boundary constituencies: Selby which comprises the majority of North Yorkshire district of Selby and includes the City of Leeds  ward of Kippax and Methley; and a new constituency named Wetherby and Easingwold which includes the City of Leeds wards of Harewood and Weatherby. As a consequence, the following changes are proposed: Elmet and Rothwell is abolished; Wakefield is reconfigured and now includes the towns of Rothwell and Outwood; Morley and Outwood becomes Morley; a new constituency named Ossett and Denby Dale is created; and the town of Normanton is transferred from Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford to Hemsworth, leading to the re-establishment of Pontefract and Castleford and the new constituency of Normanton and Hemsworth. Elsewhere, Batley and Spen is  renamed Batley and Hipperholme, and Leeds West is abolished, offset by the creation of Headingley. The following constituencies are proposed: Covering electoral wards within Bradford Covering electoral wards within Calderdale Covering electoral wards within Kirklees Covering electoral wards within Leeds Covering electoral wards within Wakefield Revised proposals will be published in late 2022 and the final report will be submitted in June 2023.
