Resignation

You can't resign from Parliament. Nigel Adams remains the incumbent Member of Parliament for Selby and Ainsty until a writ is moved. Mugsalot (talk) 17:42, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More precisely, he remains a Member until such time as he be appointed to an office of profit under the Crown, which the Chancellor will presumably do in due course. Under the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975, it is the appointment to such an office that causes the MP to cease to hold their seat, not the movement of the writ.

I've updated the article accordingly. Stifle (talk) 13:02, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
