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 combine Staffordshire with the Black Country as a sub-region of the West Midlands Region, resulting in the creation of a new cross-county boundary constituency named Kingswinford and South Staffordshire, which included part of the abolished constituency of South Staffordshire; remaining areas of this seat were combined with parts of the abolished constituency of Stone to form Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge. Although the seat was unchanged, Burton was renamed Burton and Uttoxeter.

The following constituencies are proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Cannock Chase

Containing electoral wards from East Staffordshire

Containing electoral wards from Lichfield

Containing electoral wards from Newcastle-under-Lyme

Containing electoral wards from South Staffordshire

Containing electoral wards from Stafford

Containing electoral wards from Staffordshire Moorlands

Containing electoral wards from Stoke-on-Trent

Containing electoral wards from Tamworth

  • Tamworth (part)

2010

Under the fifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to retain the 12 constituencies covering Staffordshire for the 2010 election, making minor changes to realign constituency boundaries with the boundaries of current local government wards, and to reduce the electoral disparity between constituencies.
