For the 2023 Periodic 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 Cumbria with Lancashire as a sub-region of the North West Region, with the existing seat of Morecambe and Lunesdale extending into southern Cumbria to create a cross-county boundary constituency. Copeland, Penrith and The Border, and Workington were abolished and replaced by the new constituencies of Penrith and Solway, and Whitehaven and Workington.^[2][3]

The following constituencies were proposed:

Containing electoral wards from Allerdale

• Penrith and Solway (part)
• Whitehaven and Workington (part)

Containing electoral wards from Barrow-in-Furness

• Barrow and Furness (part)

Containing electoral wards from Carlisle

• Carlisle
• Penrith and Solway (part)

Containing electoral wards from Copeland

• Barrow and Furness (part)
• Whitehaven and Workington (part)

Containing electoral wards from Eden

• Westmorland and Lonsdale (part)

Containing electoral wards from South Lakeland

• Barrow and Furness (part)
• Morecambe and Lunesdale (part also in Lancaster in Lancashire)
