Sky News explains how MPs stand down from parliament following Boris Johnson's dramatic resignation.
An MP can't simply resign because of a tradition that dates back to the 17th century. Instead, they must be disqualified from holding their seat.
Ms Dorries has not yet applied for one of the offices of the Crown, meaning she is still a sitting Tory MP, despite announcing her resignation"with immediate effect".The official process of an MP being disqualified from their seat is triggered by"moving the writ". This is when the chief whip of the political party the resigning MP belongs to puts forward a motion to the Speaker.
