It's that the point at which Rees-Mogg needs to stand down as a presenter or is it the point at which he is formally confirmed as a candidate?
Purdah officially begins the day that Parliament is dissolved, which in this case will be 30th May.
I think it's already been confirmed that JRM will be standing again in his constituency, so I would expect his last programme to be on or before 29th May.
