The position of Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead is now used as a procedural device to effect resignation from the House of Commons, since British MPs are not permitted simply to resign their seat. Most references say that it was first used in this way on 20 March1844 to allow Sir George Henry Rose, Member for Christchurch to resign his seat in Parliament, but the official book containing appointments to the Stewardship (lodged in the Public Record Office under reference E 197/1) indicates that Patrick Chalmers, MP for Montrose Burghs, was appointed to this office on 6 April1842. The writ for the electing of a replacement was moved as if Chalmers had been appointed to the Chiltern Hundreds. In more recent years the post of Manor of Northstead and The Chiltern Hundreds have alternated between resigning MP's. Tony Blair was the last MP to resign and became the Commanding Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.
