  • ^1 Eric Illsley was suspended from the party and had the whip withdrawn on 19 May 2010 after he was charged with false accounting over the United Kingdom Parliamentary expenses scandal,[1] notionally decreasing the number of Labour seats to 257.
  • ^2 Although Sinn Féin maintains offices at Westminster, the party's policy of abstaining from participation in the House of Commons (on account of disputing the UK parliament's claim to jurisdiction in Northern Ireland) precludes its MPs from taking their seats.[2]
  • ^3 John Bercow was re-elected for his Buckingham constituency as Speaker seeking re-election.[3] Three Deputy Speakers will be elected when Parliament meets, one from the Government side and two from the Opposition side.
  • ^4 The election in the constituency of Thirsk and Malton was postponed until 27 May 2010 due to the death of the UKIP candidate, John Boakes.[4]
  • ^5 Actual government majority includes the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition, and excludes members that do not vote (Sinn Féin, and the Speaker and his Deputies) and vacant seats.
