Milton Keynes North

At the 2024 election, the seat covered northern and western areas of the City of Milton Keynes, including Stony Stratford, Wolverton, Newport Pagnell and Olney. Milton Keynes North has a higher average income, less social housing and less rented housing than the national average. ==History==

This constituency (and its counterpart, Milton Keynes South), came into being when the two parliamentary constituencies covering the City of Milton Keynes unitary authority area (Milton Keynes North East and Milton Keynes South West) were reconfigured following the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies with the aim of equalising the electorate as between the constituencies in the light of population growth that had occurred mainly in the Milton Keynes Urban Area. This constituency is the more rural of the two. Mark Lancaster, who had been the incumbent for Milton Keynes North East, won the new constituency for the Conservatives in the 2010 general election and retained it at the 2015 and 2017 general elections. He stood down before the 2019 general election, citing abuse and two threats to his life. His successor to the Conservative candidacy was Ben Everitt, who won the seat with an increased majority. Everitt was defeated at the 2024 general election by Labour's Chris Curtis on a swing of 12.5%. ==Boundaries==

2010–2024 The constituency took up the majority of the City of Milton Keynes unitary authority area and was one of the borough's two constituencies. Milton Keynes North has a larger rural area; the other, Milton Keynes South, covered a smaller, more urban area. At its creation the constituency comprised the electoral wards of Bradwell, Campbell Park, Hanslope Park, Linford North, Linford South, Middleton, Newport Pagnell North, Newport Pagnell South, Olney, Sherington, Stantonbury and Wolverton . Following a revision to the ward boundaries in 2013, the seat comprised part or all of the following Council electoral wards: • Bradwell (part) • Broughton (part) • Campbell Park and Old Woughton (part) • Central Milton Keynes • Monkston (part) • Newport Pagnell North and Hanslope • Newport Pagnell South • Olney • Stantonbury • Wolverton • Woughton and Fishermead (part) The City Council ward boundaries do not necessarily coincide with the town and parish council areas. Of these wards, Newport Pagnell North and Hanslope, and Olney are more rural. The remainder are more urban. The constituency was subject to major changes, with 43% of its electorate, including Milton Keynes city centre and parishes to the east (Campbell Park (civil parish), Old Woughton, Kents Hill and Monkston and Broughton and Milton Keynes), forming part of the new constituency of Milton Keynes Central. To partly compensate, Stony Stratford was added to Milton Keynes North from the abolished Milton Keynes South seat". A new constituency, Buckingham and Bletchley, (in effect) gives Milton Keynes its third parliamentary constituency, albeit one that straddles the border with Buckinghamshire Council. ==Members of Parliament==
