Chiltern hundreds
Chiltern hundreds. A member of the House of Commons cannot resign his seat. He may, however, become disqualified by acceptance of an office of profit under the Crown. A member therefore usually vacates his seat by the acceptance of the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, or some other nominal office in the gift of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The practice began about the year 1750; but the duties and profits of the stewardship have long since ceased, and the office is only retained to serve this particular purpose. The Chiltern Hills, a range of chalk eminences separating the counties of Bedford and Hertford, were formerly covered with thick beechwood, and sheltered numerous robbers; to put these marauders down, and protect the inhabitants of the neighbourhood from their depredations, an officer was appointed under the Crown called the Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds, which were Burnham, Desborough and Stoke.The Crown, for the convenience of the House at large, is ordinarily rea...
