The Rotherham by-election was a by-election for the Parliament of the United Kingdom’s House of Commons constituency of Rotherham. The by-election was caused by the resignation of its Member of Parliament Denis MacShane after the House of Commons Standards and Privileges Committee found that he had submitted 19 false invoices plainly intended to deceive the parliamentary expenses authority an issue dating back to 2009 and a wider parliamentary expenses scandal in the UK.
