York Outer is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom since 2024 by Luke Charters of the Labour Party.[n 2]

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 constituencies in the UK.[4]

Boundaries

The Boundary Commission for England reviewed parliamentary constituencies between 2000 and 2007. In York, taking into consideration that York had been enlarged and become a unitary authority in 1996, the Commission settled on two constituencies, one representing the urban constituency and one representing the rural constituency, named York Central and York Outer.[5]

2010–2024: The city of York wards of: Bishopthorpe; Derwent; Dringhouses and Woodthorpe; Fulford, Haxby and Wigginton; Heslington; Heworth Without; Huntington and New Earswick; Osbaldwick; Rural West York; Skelton, Rawcliffe and Clifton Without; Strensall; and Wheldrake as they existed on 12 April 2005.[6]

2024–present: The city of York wards of: Bishopthorpe; Copmanthorpe; Dringhouses & Woodthorpe; Fulford & Heslington; Haxby & Wigginton; Heworth Without; Huntington & New Earswick; Osbaldwick & Derwent; Rawcliffe & Clifton Without; Rural West York; Strensall; and Wheldrake as they existed on 1 December 2020.[7]

Minor changes due to revised ward boundaries.
