Whitehaven and Workington is a proposed constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. [1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it will first be contested at the next general election. [2]
The constituency will be composed of the following (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
The seat will cover the majority of, and replace, the Copeland constituency, which includes the town of Whitehaven, together with the town of Workington and surrounding areas from the (to be abolished) constituency of Workington. [4]
With effect from 1 April 2023, the Boroughs of Allerdale and Copeland were abolished and absorbed into the new unitary authority of Cumberland. [5] The constituency will therefore now comprise the following wards of Cumberland from the next general election:
