The Borough of Boothferry, the Borough of East Yorkshire wards of Battleburn, Garrowby, Market Weighton, Pocklington, Stamford Bridge, Vale, Wilberfoss, Wold, and Woodland, and the East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley wards of Cherry Holme, Skidby and Rowley, South Cave, and Walkington. Named after the Humberside district of
Boothferry, this constituency included areas which before local government reorganisation in 1974 had been in the
West Riding of Yorkshire (
Goole), the
East Riding of Yorkshire (
Howden) and Lincolnshire,
Parts of Lindsey (
Epworth and the
Isle of Axholme). Apart from Goole itself, the constituency was largely rural. As Humberside was awarded an extra seat in the boundary review implemented in 1997, the constituency was split into four,
Brigg and Goole,
East Yorkshire,
Haltemprice and Howden and
Beverley and Holderness being the destinations of the constituents in descending order. ==Members of Parliament==
