York Outer is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom since 2010 by Julian Sturdy, a Conservative.[n 2]
Constituency profile
The constituency is in the form of a ring surrounding the York Central constituency, and thus includes the outer areas of York itself and the surrounding rural areas. The Army's Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Strensall, and the former RAF Elvington and RAF Rufforth lie in the constituency, as does the University of York.[2] Residents' health and wealth are around average for the UK.[3]
Boundaries
York Outer is formed from electoral wards from entirely within the city of York.[4]
- Bishopthorpe
- Copmanthorpe
- Dringhouses and Woodthorpe
- Fulford and Heslington
- Haxby and Wigginton
- Heworth Without

The name of the seat was subject to much discussion at the commission's public meetings, but no suitable alternative on which there was overall agreement could be found. Suggested alternatives such as "Greater York" or "County of York" were rejected as not reflecting the existence of the single Unitary Authority of York.
