Humberside was abolished in 1996 both as acounty council and anon-metropolitan county, being succeeded by the fourunitary authorities ofEast Riding of Yorkshire,Kingston upon Hull,North Lincolnshire andNorth East Lincolnshire. The constituency boundaries used up to the2005 United Kingdom general election were drawn up when the county still existed. For the review which came into effect for the2010 general election, the four unitary authorities were considered together,[1] and for the2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, coming into effect for the2024 United Kingdom general election, theBoundary Commission for England considered the area comprising the former county of Humberside with the county of South Yorkshire as a sub-region ofYorkshire and the Humber.[2]
The area is divided into 10parliamentary constituencies – 4borough constituencies and 6county constituencies, one of which includes parts of theMetropolitan Borough of Doncaster.

For the2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the2024 United Kingdom general election, theBoundary Commission for England opted to combine the four unitary authorities which make up the former county of Humberside with South Yorkshire as a sub-region of the Yorkshire and the Humber Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency namedDoncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, which encompassed part of the formerBrigg and Goole constituency. Seven existing constituencies were abolished (Brigg and Goole,Cleethorpes,East Yorkshire,Great Grimsby,Haltemprice and Howden,Kingston upon Hull North andKingston upon Hull West and Hessle) and replaced by six new seats wholly within the area (Bridlington and The Wolds,Brigg and Immingham,Goole and Pocklington,Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes,Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham andKingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice).[3][4][5]
The following constituencies were created:
Containing electoral wards fromEast Riding of Yorkshire
Containing electoral wards fromKingston upon Hull
Containing electoral wards fromNorth East Lincolnshire
Containing electoral wards fromNorth Lincolnshire
Under theFifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, theBoundary Commission for England decided to retain the 10 constituencies covering the former county of Humberside for the 2010 election, making minor changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards.
