List of Parliamentary constituencies in Staffordshire

List of Parliamentary constituencies in Staffordshire

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.

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.
