Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to moderate boundary changes, losing the Wakefield South ward and gaining Normanton. Accordingly, it will be reformed as Normanton and Hemsworth, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
