Newark by-election, 2014
The Newark by-election was a by-election in the Newark constituency of the British House of Commons, which was held on 5 June 2014,〔Newark and Sherwood District Council: (Newark Parliamentary by-election 2014 ). Retrieved 7 May 2014〕 following the resignation of Patrick Mercer.〔 Conservative Robert Jenrick won the seat with a majority of 7,403.
==Background==
Mercer resigned the Conservative Party whip on 31 May 2013 after an investigation by the BBC's ''Panorama'' programme regarding allegations of paid lobbying without registering the interest. He was paid £4,000 for asking questions in Parliament, and the ''Panorama'' team considered that he asked five parliamentary questions, but declared only £2,000 of the £4,000.〔Nicholas Watt ("MP Patrick Mercer resigns Commons seat in wake of lobbying allegations" ), theguardian.com, 29 April 2014〕 As a consequence, he said at the time that he would not stand in the 2015 general election.
On 29 April, after being told that the Committee on Standards would recommend that he be suspended from the House of Commons for six months, Mercer announced that he would resign his seat: he told journalists on College Green that he was standing down from "God's county of Nottinghamshire".〔Nicholas Watt, ("Farage considering standing in Newark" ), ''The Guardian website'', 30 April 2014〕 Mercer was appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Three Chiltern Hundreds on 30 April 2014, a mechanism by which MPs resign.〔UK Parliament website, ("Patrick Mercer appointed to the Three Hundreds of Chiltern" ), 30 April 2014〕
The writ was moved on 1 May 2014 for the by-election to be held on 5 June.〔〔("Patrick Mercer 'deliberately evaded' MPs' rules, watchdog finds" ), ''BBC News'', 1 May 2014〕
