Former Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan is expected to cease being an MP three weeks after being convicted of sexually assaulting a boy following a delay in his resignation.
The Treasury is understood to have received his resignation letter and it is expected that he will officially leave Parliament on Tuesday, meaning he will receive full pay for April.
Mr Khan said he sent the letter triggering the process on Monday, despite having announced his resignation on April 14 while coming under pressure to stand down.
He said he expects the process to finish on Saturday, but it was understood it would not happen until the next working day, with Monday being a bank holiday.
The Wakefield MP was found guilty of sexually assaulting the 15-year-old at Southwark Crown Court on April 11.
