Constituencies and representation

As has been the case since 1999, the electoral constituencies were based on the government's nine English regions, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, creating a total of 12 constituencies. On 31 July 2007, in line with the required reduction in representation from the United Kingdom, the Electoral Commission recommended reductions in representation from Scotland, and from 5 English regions, resulting in new representation as below, which were first used in 2009:

Constituency Representation
in 2009		 Representation
in 2014		 Net Gain/Loss
East Midlands 5 5
East of England 7 7
London 8 8
North East England 3 3
North West England 8 8
South East England 10 10
South West England 6 6
West Midlands 7 7
Yorkshire and the Humber 6 6
Wales 4 4
Scotland 6 6
Northern Ireland 3 3

The recommended changes were approved by the UK Parliament in 2008.

Includes Gibraltar, the only British overseas territory which is part of the European Union.
Due to the Treaty of Lisbon coming into force before the 2014, the UK is entitled to a 73rd MEP. The Electoral Commission performed a reallocation in keeping with the same procedures they used to allocate 72 MEPs and the extra Conservative MEP was allocated to the West Midlands constituency.
