| The office of Crown Steward and Bailiff of the three Chiltern Hundreds of Stoke, Desborough and Burnham, commonly referred to as the Chiltern Hundreds is a sinecure appointment which is used as a device allowing a Member of the United Kingdom Parliament (MP) to resign his or her seat. MPs cannot outright resign their seats; appointment to this position by the Chancellor of the Exchequer places the MP in a salaried position under the monarch, against the rules of Parliament. |
