It turns out that UK Parliamentary constituencies are not well represented in Wikidata; for example many lack details of adjoining constituencies, coordinates, and shape files.
A query highlighting the missing data, and a tool for finding neighbouring constituencies, can be found at:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_British_Politicians/Const...
with discussion on its talk page.
If you can help with improving these items, please do!
I'm sure I can casually chip away at some (when I get bored of working on Tanzanian government ministries - don't ask, I can't quite explain it) - do you have a "good"/"okay" example?

Isn't the 'official' data via https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-government/products/election-maps
... which presumably means it's a copyright headache.

There is no complete example, but:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3136734
is as good as I can make it at present.
