For the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England opted to combine North Yorkshire with West Yorkshire as a sub-region of the Yorkshire and the Humber Region, resulting in the creation of two new cross-county boundary constituencies: Selby which comprises the majority of the abolished constituency of Selby and Ainsty and includes the City of Leeds ward of Kippax and Methley; and a new constituency named Wetherby and Easingwold which includes the City of Leeds wards of Harewood and Wetherby. The commission also opted to rename Richmond (Yorks) to Richmond and Northallerton.
The following constituencies resulted from the review:
Containing electoral wards from Craven
- Skipton and Ripon (part)
Containing electoral wards from Hambleton
- Richmond and Northallerton (part)
- Thirsk and Malton (part)
- Weatherby and Easingwold (part)<sup>1</sup>

2010
Under the fifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided that North Yorkshire should continue to be divided into 8 constituencies for the 2010 general election, but the boundaries were extensively redrawn in the south-eastern part to accommodate exactly two seats wholly within the recently formed unitary authority of York. The Vale of York was abolished and a new constituency named York Outer created, with City of York being renamed York Central. Ryedale was succeeded by Thirsk and Malton, and Selby was renamed Selby and Ainsty.
