That's eight Tories and twelve Labourettes or...
4.1% ToriesHmph, a couple of those MPs are somewhat debateable, since they're still there, they are still MPs. Still no one brave enought to just resign. Well, except Michael Martin, but he gave himself a month's notice, so it hardly counts.
3.5% Labourettes
This list is subtly different to the one on Wikipedia of MP's who've announced their retirement at the next election, which is a lot longer.
You should probably add Labour MP Ian Gibson to that list as he announced that he was standing down as an MP with immediate effect after the Star Chamber told him he would not be selected as a candidate at the next election.
