Boundary Review

Following their review of parliamentary representation in Oxfordshire, the Boundary Commission for England has made minor changes to the existing arrangement as a consequence of population changes. The electoral wards used in this modified constituency are as follows. Suggestions to alter the name of the constituency to "Henley and Thame" or "South Oxfordshire" were ultimately rejected by the Commission.

• From the district of Cherwell - Kirtlington, and Otmoor
• From the district of South Oxfordshire - Aston Rowant, Benson, Berinsfield, Chalgrove, Chiltern Woods, Chinnor, Crowmarsh, Forest Hill and Holton, Garsington, Goring, Great Milton, Henley North, Henley South, Sandford, Shiplake, Sonning Common, Thame North, Thame South, Watlington, Wheatley, and Woodcote
