Buckingham with the 2007 borders

The constituency today in the Aylesbury Vale district includes the constituencies ( wards ) Buckingham North, Buckingham South, Eddlesborough, Gatehouse, Great Brickhill & Newton Longville, Great Horwood, Grendon Underwood & Brill, Haddenham & Stone, Long Crendon, Luffield Abbey, Marsh Gibbon, Oakfield & Bierton, Oakley, Pitstone & Cheddington, Quainton, Steeple Claydon, Stewkley, Tingewick, Waddesdon, Watermead, Weedon, Wing, Wingrave and Winslow, and in Wycombe district the constituencies of Icknield and The Risboroughs.

The Boundary Commission for England proposed in its report in September 2018 to reduce the total number of MPs from 650 to 600. If Parliament approves this proposal, the changes would take effect in the next scheduled general election. As a result, the Buckingham constituency would grow by some constituencies, especially from the northern constituencies, and would therefore be renamed Buckingham and Milton Keynes West.
