74 MPs did not stand for re-election at the 2019 General Election. The number standing down was high compared with 2017 (an election which like 2019 followed a “short” Parliament) but lower than at any other election since 1979. An average of 87 MPs stood down from the House of Commons at general elections between 1979 and 2010. These figures include MPs that were not selected by their party to stand at the next election. See Library briefing General Election 2019: full results and analysis for the number of MPs that stood down from the House of Commons at general elections between 1979 and 2019, pages 42-43.
