The Instrument of Government gave Wycombe one seat in the First Protectorate Parliament and the Second Protectorate Parliament. In the Third Protectorate Parliament the borough would have had the normal two seats. I hesitate to alter the detailed list of MPs, but the general information I have accumulated contradicts the note in the specific list. --Gary J 21:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

According to the list I have, the two MPs for Chipping Wycombe in Richard Cromwell's Parliament of 1659 elected on 1 January 1659 were Thomas Scott and Tobias Bridge (the latter returned also for Newcastle-under-Lyme). Sam Blacketer 21:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
