For the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 general election, the Boundary Commission for England proposed that Greater Manchester be considered as a sub-region of the North West Region, retaining a total of 27 constituencies. However, there were significant changes made to realign boundaries to revised ward boundaries and ensure electorates were within the statutory range. Denton and Reddish was abolished and broken up and Manchester Rusholme re-established, resulting in major re-configurations of the Manchester Central and Manchester Gorton constituencies, with the latter being renamed Gorton and Denton. Other boundary changes resulted in name changes as follows:
| Previous name | Revised name |
|---|---|
| Blackley and Broughton | Blackley and Middleton South |
| Bolton South East | Bolton South and Walkden |
| Heywood and Middleton | Heywood and Middleton North |
| Leigh | Leigh and Atherton |
| Salford and Eccles | Salford |
| Worsley and Eccles South | Worsley and Eccles |
In addition, although unchanged, Oldham West and Royton was renamed Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton.
The following are the constituencies in place following the changes:
Containing electoral wards in the borough of Bolton
- Bolton North East
- Bolton South and Walkden (part)

Manchester, Blackley was replaced with Blackley and Broughton.
