Workington was a constituency[n 1] in Cumbria represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament.[n 2]
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was abolished. The town of Workington itself was combined with the majority of the also-abolished constituency of Copeland to form Whitehaven and Workington. The remainder, comprising the majority of the electorate, was reformed as the new seat of Penrith and Solway.[2]
