UK Parliamentary Constituencies

The Parliamentary Constituency field holds the Westminster Parliamentary Constituencies and the Alternative Constituency holds the Welsh Assembly name or the Scottish Parliamentary Constituency. In the case of Northern Ireland, Stormont (NI) Constituencies are currently the same as Westminster Constituencies and are therefore named in the Parliamentary Constituency field.

Westminster UK Parliamentary Constituencies are the areas used to elect Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons, which is the primary legislative chamber of the UK and is located in Westminster, London.

To produce this data list, the UK Parliamentary Constituency code and name are geographically matched to each Postcode in the UK. In addition to the Westminster UK Parliamentary Constituency codes and names, this product also includes the Westminster MP names and Party currently holding the seat and also an additional field to identify the Scottish UK Parliamentary Constituency in Scotland and the Welsh Assembly in Wales.

Westminster UK Parliamentary Constituencies are of course used to elect Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. Currently there are 650 constituencies in England and Wales (2015 General Election).
