Large numbers of voters in south Bucks could have a different name on their voting slip at the next election after details of a shake-up of parliamentary constituencies were revealed.

The Wycombe seat – currently held by Steve Baker – will grow in size dramatically to incorporate Stokenchurch, Bledlow Ridge, Saunderton, Radnage and Bradenham.

All currently fall in the Aylesbury constituency, whose MP is David Lidington.

Other big changes include a shift for Hughenden Valley, Speen, Walters Ash and Naphill, which move into Cheryl Gillan’s Chesham and Amersham area having also been taken away from Aylesbury.

It means the size of the area falling within the Aylesbury area is dramatically reduced.

Princes Risborough will remain in the Buckingham constituency if the plans are given the green light, and there are no changes to Dominic Grieve’s Beaconsfield seat, which includes Marlow.

The new proposals from the Boundary Commission are designed to slash the number of MPs from 650 to 600.

Mr Baker said: "It's right to equalise the size of constituencies across the country while cutting the number of MPs and the cost of politics.

"For too long, votes in certain constituencies have counted for too much or too little."

The changes proposed

Nationally, the move would abolish a number of Labour-held seats, including the constituencies of Mr Corbyn and his leadership rival Owen Smith.

All seats across south Bucks are held by Conservatives.

Labour has already vowed to fight the "unfair, undemocratic and unacceptable" changes, arguing that the 2015 electoral rolls used to calculate the size of new constituencies were out of date, because they miss out a surge of two million extra voters who signed up to take part in the EU referendum.

Some senior Conservatives - including Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, Education Secretary Justine Greening and former chancellor George Osborne - will see the map of their constituencies radically redrawn or abolished altogether.

The initial proposals for England and Wales, announced on Tuesday, follow those for Northern Ireland which were disclosed last week.

Plans for Scotland are due to be published on October 20. Final proposals are due in October 2018 for use in the general election scheduled for May 2020.

The number of MPs will be cut from 533 to 501 in England, from 59 to 53 in Scotland, from 40 to 29 in Wales, and from 18 to 17 in Northern Ireland, with the aim of ensuring that each constituency - with the exception of a few island seats - has a broadly similar population.
