Vale of York is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
The seat was formed in 1997 from parts of the old Ryedale, Harrogate, Skipton & Ripon and Richmond (Yorkshire) constituencies.
The reconfiguration of North Yorkshire's constituencies by the Boundary Commission for England has seen the creation of a York Central and a York Outer. This will see the Vale of York constituency abolished. The populous York suburbs will become part of York Outer. Easingwold, Thirsk and surrounding villages will join rural Ryedale to form a new Thirsk and Malton constituency. Bedale will rejoin the Richmond constituency. Boroughbridge will become part of an enlarged Harrogate seat, while Skipton & Ripon will regain some of the surrounding villages. The enlarged Selby and Ainsty seat will now encompass Marston Moor and Spofforth.
