The Treasury has accepted Tiverton and Honiton MP Neil Parish’s resignation after he admitted watching pornography in the House of Commons.
A statement from the Treasury said: “The Chancellor of the Exchequer has this day appointed Neil Quentin Gordon Parish to be Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.”
The position of Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead is a procedural device to allow Members of Parliament to resign from the British House of Commons.
