Finchley & Golders Green apart from a couple of minuscule ward realignments.
Ealing N subject to the same caveat.
If you're going to be strict about not allowing ward realignments then you need to remove Hayes & Harlington from the list.
Torbay.

You've missed Pete Whitehead's Eastern list: Stevenage, NE Herts, Epping Forest, Ipswich and Great Yarmouth. However, the BCE's mapping suggests there is a small area (close to the tripoint of the two constituencies with Hitchin) transferred from NE Herts to Stevenage. I think it reflects this local government boundary re-alignment. I'm not sure whether it should count, as the area appears from mapping to contain no buildings, but there is actually a very small area (on the southern boundary of East Ecclesfield ward) transferred from Penistone & Stocksbridge to Sheffield Brightside & Hillsborough. So perhaps P & S should have an asterisk or something. Electoral Calculus lists Gillingham & Rainham as unchanged, and the BCE's mapping seems to confirm this. Leeds North East is in the same category as Shipley and Keighley (& Ilkley).

Theya re not minuscule. If we were counting seats with that magnitude of change there would be many others (eg Brentwood & Ongar sees probably a smaller change in terms of the number of electors)

What about Erewash?

I missed Erewash. It isn't really 'my' definition. Either a seat is unchanged or it isn't. In as much as there is any grey area it is such as in the seat which kicked the discussion off - Hayes & Harlington where the boundary changes really are minuscule and might only involve the transfer of one or two properties and hardly any voters. That certainly doesn't apply in Finchley & Golders Green where it looks like something like 300 voters are moving in or out.

I think you can usefully distinguish between unchanged and unchanged except for ward re-alignment but it's probably worth recording both.

Coventry NW.
And in the 'tiny change' category I'd add Bournemouth E, SE Cornwall, Rugby.

I think you can usefully distinguish between unchanged and unchanged except for ward re-alignment but it's probably worth recording both. Ward realignment can mean movement of thousands of voters in urban seats. However a secondary list of seats with less than 1000 voters moving (virtually unchanged) would be useful. I’d do it myself, but I’ve still got loads of profiles to update with boundary info first.

The following list is also based on Electoral Calculus's data, and lists constituencies which contain at least 98% of their main predecessor and the sum of the percentages coming from other seats is at most 2%. Names are those for the new seats where they have changed; I believe there are two on this list (Bedworth & North Warwickshire and Hove & Portslade) where the name is the only change.
Not all of these are just "re-alignment to new ward boundaries"; e.g. the change to the two Bradford constituencies on the list is that a ward has been split, with a single polling district being included in one rather than the other. And some constituencies have "re-alignment to new ward boundaries" which goes above the threshold used here, e.g. Sheffield Hallam.
Berwickshire, Roxburgh & Selkirk
Warrington North
Sheffield Brightside & Hillsborough Bradford East Bradford South Keighley & Ilkley
Hereford & South Herefordshire North Herefordshire Telford Bedworth & North Warwickshire Rugby
Amber Valley Bolsover North East Derbyshire Rushcliffe
Bedford Peterborough Brentwood & Ongar Welwyn Hatfield North Norfolk
South East Cornwall Newton Abbot Torbay Bournemouth East
Finchley & Golders Green Ealing North Romford Carshalton & Wallington Sutton & Cheam
Hove & Portslade Dover & Deal

Sub-question: which local authorities have no changes to constituencies within their borders?
Trafford is one, with 2-and-a-bit constituencies unchanged. (No doubt there are some single-constituency ones among the islands and some smaller district authorities.)

I make that 60 so far, don't know how many were left unchanged for the review first used in the 1983 GE? 66, Dimbleby made the point very early in the election programme, an awful lot of them in London for some weird reason, three of the Hillingdon, two Hounslow and the four Barnet seats off the top of my head.

Ultimately, only 13% of the UK's 650 constituencies will remain unchanged for this year's general election-the lowest proportion since 1983 (and a large proportion of those changes were necessitated by changes to local government/county boundaries).

It wasn't a 'weird' reason. London had been heavily redrawn in 1974 to bring the seats into line with the 'new' London borough boundaries. Against that the rest of the country had had the local government map torn up in the intervening period - there were new counties, all the Met boroughs and so on. You had seats like Goole that were split between four of the new counties. Those sort of anomalies in London had been ironed our in the previous review.

In the circumstances of the boundary review (an unusually long time since the previous one, and an unusually strict set of new rules and criteria) I consider the use of the word “only” to be wildly inappropriate. I’m astonished it’s as many as 13%.
