Resignation as MP
News reports say he's resigned from Parliament with immediate effect, but that doesn't seem to be correct. Technically an MP can't resign; he has to be appointed to be Steward and Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds, which doesn't seem to have happened yet. Parliament's official website still lists him as an MP. Peter Jackson (talk) 08:59, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
