How many MPs are standing down at the next election?

As of 8 March 2024, some 96 MPs have announced that they will not stand again at the next general election. The most recent MP to announce they are standing down was former prime minister Theresa May, who has been the Conservative MP for Maidenhead since 1997.
A number of other prominent MPs also plan to stand down, including 14 of whom have been secretaries of state. Former deputy prime minister Dominic Raab, former health secretary Matt Hancock and former defence secretary Ben Wallace all plan to stand down, as do former Labour ministers Harriet Harman and Dame Margaret Hodge. They are joined by the former Westminster leader of the SNP, Ian Blackford, current deputy speaker, Dame Rosie Winterton, and the chairs of 10 select committees.
