The seat is the successor to the Middlesbrough constituency, subject to alignment of the boundaries to take account of a revised local authority ward structure. In order for the electorate to be within the permitted range, the two Stockton-on-Tees wards, comprising the eastern part of the town of Thornaby-on-Tees, were transferred from Stockton South (abolished).[4]
