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 retain the six constituencies in Warwickshire, with minor boundary changes primarily to reflect changes to ward boundaries. Although its boundaries are unchanged, North Warwickshire was renamed North Warwickshire and Bedworth.[2]
2010
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.
