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)

The appointment was made at some point on the 12th, but to the Manor of Northstead, the other position which effects resignation (technically, disqualification). John Stephenson (talk) 10:59, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Interesting. It's usually said that one's only used when 2 MPs want to leave simultaneously. Anyway, I suppose that means Sadiq Khan keeps the other job for now. I wonder whether anyone ever actually receives the salary. Peter Jackson (talk) 10:54, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
