List of MPs elected in the 1708 British general election

MPs elected in the 1708 British general election

1st Parliament (1705-1708)
2nd Parliament (1708)
3rd Parliament (1710)
4th Parliament (1713)

This is a list of the 558 MPs or members of Parliament elected to the 314 constituencies of the Parliament of Great Britain in 1708, the 2nd Parliament of Great Britain, and their replacements returned at subsequent by-elections, arranged by constituency.[1]

The reference, in the constituency section of the table, to the numbers of seats in a constituency has no relevance except to make clear how many members were elected in a particular constituency. The candidates returned in contested elections are listed in the descending order of the number of votes received. Where vote totals are unknown, the MPs received the same number of votes or were returned unopposed the order is that given by Hayton et al.

Peers of Ireland are differentiated from the holders of courtesy titles by including the succession number to the peerage, i.e. The 1st Earl of Upper Ossory is an Irish peer and Viscount Dupplin is the holder of a courtesy title.

Elections took place in May, 1708
