Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. Expanded westwards as a result of a realignment of the boundary with Newcastle upon Tyne North, it will be reformed as Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
