For the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 general election, the Boundary Commission for England proposed that Greater Manchester be treated as a sub-region of the North West Region, retaining a total of 27 constituencies. However, significant changes were made to realign boundaries with revised ward boundaries and to ensure electorates were within the statutory range. Denton and Reddish was abolished and divided, and Manchester Rusholme was re-established, resulting in major reconfigurations of the Manchester Central and Manchester Gorton constituencies, with the latter renamed Gorton and Denton. Other boundary changes resulted in the following name changes: Previous nameRevised nameBlackley and BroughtonBlackley and Middleton SouthBolton South EastBolton South and WalkdenHeywood and MiddletonHeywood and Middleton NorthLeighLeigh and AthertonSalford and EcclesSalfordWorsley and Eccles SouthWorsley and Eccles In addition, although unchanged, Oldham West and Royton was renamed Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton.

2010 Under the fifth periodic review of Westminster constituencies, the Boundary Commission for England decided to reduce the number of seats in Greater Manchester from 28 to 27, leading to significant changes in the city of Salford, where the three constituencies of Eccles, Salford, and Worsley were abolished and replaced by the two constituencies of Salford and Eccles, and Worsley and Eccles South. Manchester, Blackley was replaced by Blackley and Broughton.
