The current boundaries have been effective since the Welsh Assembly election, 2007 and the 2010 United Kingdom general election.[1] There were only minor boundary changes from the previous scheme and the previous constituencies had the same names.

Changes proposed in 2016

As part of the Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies the Boundary Commission for Wales proposed changes to almost all the existing Welsh Westminster constituencies, giving some of them Welsh language names.[2]
