2010 boundary changes
[edit]Under the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to the number of constituencies in Warwickshire from 5 to 6 for the 2010 election, with the creation of the new constituency of Kenilworth and Southam, combining the two towns of Kenilworth, transferred from Rugby and Kenilworth (renamed Rugby), and Southam, transferred from Stratford-on-Avon. The revised, more compact, Warwick and Leamington constituency was redesignated as a Borough constituency.
Former name | Boundaries 1997-2010 | Current name | Boundaries 2010–present |

Proposed boundary changes
[edit]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.[2] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. The final proposals were published on 28 June 2023.
The commission has proposed retaining the current six constituencies in Warwickshire, with minor boundary changes primarily to reflect changes to ward boundaries. Although its boundaries are unchanged, it is proposed that North Warwickshire is renamed North Warwickshire and Bedworth.[3]
