Parliamentary boundaries are not the same as local government boundaries, although they can have similar names and cover similar geographical areas.
The UK is split into 650 parliamentary constituencies. The voters in each constituency elect one Member of Parliament to represent them in the House of Commons.
Each constituency should have roughly the same number of voters, which can mean that constituencies must spread across multiple local authority areas to achieve this.
