Boundaries

In 1983, the existing Whitehaven constituency was renamed Copeland; Jack Cunningham, who had previously been the member for Whitehaven, stood and won the seat. Its boundaries remained unchanged, being co-terminous with the local government district of Copeland.

Boundary review

Following their review of parliamentary representation in Cumbria, the Boundary Commission for England have created a modified Copeland seat as a consequence of population changes.
The seat moves out of the district of Copeland and into Keswick for the first time, which was the main topic in public consultations regarding the changes.
The Allerdale wards of Crummock, Dalton, Derwent Valley and Keswick are added to the Copeland district for this seat.
