Constituency profile

The constituency is in the form of a ring surrounding the York Central constituency, and thus includes the outer areas of York itself and the surrounding rural areas. The Army's Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Strensall, and the former RAF Elvington and RAF Rufforth lie in the constituency, as does the University of York. [2] Residents' health and wealth are around average for the UK. [3] The area is currently ranked in the top 10 least deprived [4] constituencies in the UK.

Boundaries

York Outer (UK Parliament constituency)
Map of current boundaries

York Outer is formed from electoral wards from entirely within the city of York. [5]

The name of the seat was subject to much discussion at the commission's public meetings, but no suitable alternative on which there was overall agreement could be found. Suggested alternatives such as "Greater York" or "County of York" were rejected as not reflecting the existence of the single Unitary Authority of York.

Proposed

Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, the composition of the constituency from the 2024 United Kingdom general election will be unchanged, other than minor amendments to reflect modifications to ward boundaries.
