In July Mr O'Mara said he intended to step down from following Parliament's summer recess.

Speaking at the time he said: "Let everyone be assured I will be tendering my resignation via the official parliamentary procedure as soon as term restarts."

However, a spokesman for the Treasury said Mr O'Mara "remains an MP" having written to the Chancellor to "postpone his appointment to an office of the crown".

The BBC has approached Mr O'Mara for a comment.

For an MP to resign they must accept an appointment by the Chancellor to one of two offices of profit - the Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds and of the Manor of Northstead - in order to be legally disqualified from continuing as an MP.

Smart motorways are where the hard shoulder has been removed and a live lane for traffic has replaced it, with cameras and overhead signs helping manage traffic flow.

Jason Mercer, 44, (above left) was killed in a three-vehicle crash on the M1 near Meadowhall on 7 June.

He had been involved in a minor collision but there was no hard shoulder and both he and the other driver were hit by a lorry in the lane when they got out to exchange details.

Both died at the scene.

Mr Mercer's wife, Clare, (above right) said: "I want the whole [smart motorway] system stopping with immediate effect while independent bodies analyse the facts."

Smart motorways are "good for drivers" and there have been fewer crashes since they were introduced, according to Highways England.
