Reforms in the representation of the town King Henry VIII of England decided to modify the arrangements for the government of Calais. A statute 27 Hen. VIII, c. 63 made provision for two members to be returned to the Parliament of England.

One member was to be nominated, elected and chosen by the Deputy the King s representative in the town and his Council. The other member was to be nominated, elected and chosen by the Mayor and his Council. Under the provisions of the statute, members were elected to ten Parliaments.
