Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be abolished, with the majority of its contents - excluding the town of Blyth itself - being absorbed into the new constituency of Cramlington and Killingworth, to be first contested at the next general election. Blyth will be included in the new constituency of Blyth and Ashington.
