Michael Robert Hill[1] (born 12 May 1963) is a former British Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament for Hartlepool from 2017 until his resignation in 2021.
Until being elected to Parliament in 2017, he was the Political Officer for UNISON Northern Region and Vice Chair of Labour North.
He was the unsuccessful Labour candidate for Richmond in North Yorkshire at the 2015 election, which has traditionally been a safe seat for the Conservatives.
[4] On 16 March 2021, Hill announced his resignation with immediate effect and was appointed Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds,[9] which is the procedure whereby a UK MP—who cannot actually resign—voluntarily leaves office.
[10] In July 2021, the tribunal in delivering its decision held that Hill had assaulted, harassed, and victimised a parliamentary worker and it upheld claims of "detrimental treatment".
