John Glen, chief secretary of the treasury, became the last high-ranking statesman who pressured Ms Dorris to formally leave the House of Commons.

Asked if he thinks the former culture minister should step down immediately, Mr Glen told Sky News: “Well, I'm a bit puzzled. She said she was going to resign immediately, she didn't, and I understand the frustration of her constituents.

“If they can't get access to her, they will be very disappointed about it.

«She needs to continue and she needs to make this decision a reality by formally announcing her resignation.»

In June, Dorris announced she was retiring with «immediate effect» after she failed to receive a peerage in Boris Johnson's retirement honors list.

But the Mid-Bedfordshire Conservative MP has not yet formally resigned, despite growing calls to do so from her Conservative Party counterparts.

Ms Dorries said she «will be gone long before the next election.» '.

Rishi Sunak suggested in early August that Ms. Dorries had let her constituents down as he said 'people are not properly represented' in her constituency.

'Hopefully she will soon come to this conclusion»

Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said on Wednesday this week that MPs who choose to leave Parliament should “do it.”

He told Sky News: “I think being an MP is a special privilege. You sign up for a tenure.

«If you decide to leave Parliament for any reason, you need to go and do it.

«I don't want to think Nadine's voters Dorris is properly represented. I hope she comes to that conclusion soon.”

Ms Dorries remains MP for Bedfordshire Middle, hosts a weekly talk show on Talk TV, and has written a book called The Plot: The Political Assassination of Boris Johnson, who to be published on 28 September, just a few days before the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.

Ms Dorries has held the Mid-Bedfordshire seat since 2005, and the Conservative Party as a whole since 1931.< /p

Labour hopes to win a seat after a by-election, although the Liberal Democrats also believe they have a chance of winning a constituency.
