Mid Buckinghamshire is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. Further to the completion of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election and is represented by Greg Smith, of the Conservative Party; Smith was previously MP for Buckingham from 2019 to 2024.
Constituency profile Mid Buckinghamshire is a constituency in Buckinghamshire. Its largest settlement is the town of Wendover, which has a population of around 9,000. Other settlements include the town of Princes Risborough and the villages of Stokenchurch, Walters Ash, Prestwood, Stoke Mandeville, Haddenham, Berryfields and Steeple Claydon.
This is a large, rural constituency with many small villages. The Chilterns, a National Landscape of chalk hills, passes through the south of the constituency. Wendover and Princes Risborough are historic small market towns and, like the rest of the constituency, are highly affluent with low levels of deprivation. The average house price is higher than the rest of South East England and nearly double the national average.
Residents of Mid Buckinghamshire are older than average due to the large retiree population. They are generally well-educated and have high rates of homeownership and household income. A large proportion of residents work in professional occupations and a very low percentage claim unemployment benefits. The child poverty rate is less than half the national figure. White people made up 91% of the population at the 2021 census.
Most of the constituency is represented by Conservatives at the local council with some Liberal Democrats elected in and around Wendover and Green Party councillors elected in Haddenham. An estimated 52% of voters in Mid Buckinghamshire supported remaining in the European Union in the 2016 referendum, higher than the nationwide figure of 48%.
