Another 15 are becoming MPs again after a gap in their political careers.
There are 387 men (60%) and 263 are women (40%).
The youngest MP - traditionally nicknamed the baby of the House - is likely 22-year-old Sam Carling in North West Cambridgeshire.
Hunt rules out leadership bid
Sky News understands Jeremy Hunt has ruled himself out of the Tory leadership race.
It comes as speculation begins as to who will lead the party in opposition for the first time in 14 years.
Rishi Sunak said he would step down immediately - as soon as a successor is secured.
Among the politicians who might make a bid are Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman and James Cleverly.
Robert Jenrick, Priti Patel and Tom Tugenhat could also enter the race.

'Grifters humiliating women': Jess Phillips hits back after campaign abuse
If you were following our coverage yesterday, you may remember the moment newly re-elected Labour MP Jess Phillips faced down hecklers who she said could not handle a strong woman standing up to them.
Since the acceptance speech, in which she was interrupted at least five times by boos and jeers, she has reflected on an "absolutely horrible campaign".
Ms Phillips told Beth Rigby onthe Electoral Dysfunction podcast that she and some of her constituents have faced "the most aggressive, most intimidatory" abuse in recent weeks.
Labour campaign activists in Birmingham had their car tyres slashed on election day, while a young woman handing out leaflets had "genocide" screamed in her face as someone filmed it, she explained.
"The reason they're filming is to drive content, to incite more intimidation," she said.
"In my constituency, the humiliation was by men, to women."
She added: "That's what our politics has become - humiliation, content-driven grift."
The MP said of candidates standing on a Gaza platform: "They have done absolutely nothing to help a single person in Gaza.
"They have just bullied and picked on mainly women."
Starmer arrives at Downing Street
The new prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has not yet moved into Downing Street.
So he has also arrived in Westminster for this morning's cabinet.
Unlike the rest of his ministerial team, he arrived through the back gate of Downing Street, rather than through the front door.
Cabinet arrivals continue
Around two hours ago, a small group of ministers arrived in Downing Street ahead of the first cabinet of the Labour government.
The rest of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's top team look to be arriving now.
Environment Secretary Steve Reed has been seen entering Number 10 this morning.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Transport Secretary Louise Haigh have also gone through the famous black door.
They were followed by Science Secretary Peter Kyle and Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson.
Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, entered alongside Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds.
Speaking to Sky political editor Beth Rigby, Mr Miliband joked that he was "always" surprised by a Labour victory.
Defence Secretary John Healey, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Chancellor Rachel Reeves followed them in afterwards, with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper going in afterwards.
House of Commons Leader Lucy Powell told Beth there was "lots to do" as she went in.
Labour chair Anneliese Dodds looked very happy as she went into the government building.
She was then joined by Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall.
Braverman: 'No announcements' on Tory leadership today
Suella Braverman has been speaking to broadcasters this morning.
She is widely believed to be preparing a bid to run to replace Rishi Sunak as Conservative Party leader.
The former home secretary is on the right of the party, and has spoken of her desire to work with, rather than against, Nigel Farage.
Speaking outside her home this morning, Ms Braverman said there were "no announcements" today, and she was spending the rest of Saturday with her family.
However, it is notable that she was more than willing to speak to cameras in the first place.
Seemingly in a good mood, Ms Braverman went on to criticise Labour for taking measures like scrapping the Rwanda deportation scheme.
She also spoke of her disappointment that hundreds of Conservative MPs lost their seats in the election.
Tories need to 'remember the centre as well as the right'
Conservative Sir Malcolm Rifkind, who was in Sir John Major's cabinet, spoke to Sky News earlier.
He explained where he felt his party went wrong in the election.
Sir Malcolm said his party needed to remember its heritage on the "centre right".
He said: "We've got to remember the centre as well as the right."
The former foreign secretary went on to say the party needed to choose a new leader who would lead from the "centre right" rather than either the centre or the right.
He went on to say that he wanted to see party memberships have less power in choosing the leader.
Sir Malcolm said giving paid up members more power causes issues, as MPs don't support the person in charge.
He said this was behind the chaos under Jeremy Corbyn, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss in the Commons.

Larry the cat faces competition as Starmer's children lobby for Downing Street dog
While Sir Keir Starmer may have finished his campaign, his teenage children are still in the midst of theirs.
The prime minister's son and daughter have reportedly been lobbying their parents for a pet dog in Number 10.
He previously told ITV's This Morning the pair would "ramp up their campaign" should he win the election.
"German shepherd is the current favourite – although there's a range of possibilities, so we shall see," said Sir Keir, when asked about the idea by Times Radio.
"I'm getting into dangerous territory now because if my boy and girl get hold of this footage, I'll be confronted with it when I get back to them."
He wouldn't be the first prime minister to move a four-legged resident into Downing Street.
In 2019, Mr Johnson brought in Dilyn, a Jack Russell-cross puppy.
Nova the labrador retriever came with Rishi Sunak, apparently leading to some "heated exchanges" with Larry the cat.
So if the Labour leader's children hope to succeed in their campaign for a new dog, they may have to convince the Chief Mouser too.
On my patch: Defence and security will dominate first few days
From the cost of living crisis and small boat crossings to the drive for green energy and the war in Ukraine, the Labour government has its work cut out.
To get a sense of the challenges facing Sir Keir Starmer, we spoke to our specialist correspondents about their patches.
By Deborah Haynes, security and defence editor
Defence and security will have to dominate the first few days of the new government as the prime minister prepares to travel to Washington for a major NATO summit of world leaders.
However, you can expect national security and military operations to be a dominant focus throughout Sir Keir Starmer's time in office as global tensions mount amid Russia's war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and the growing threat from China.
Labour has pledged to conduct a sweeping review of UK defence and security within the party's first 12 months in power, and to set a path towards increasing the defence budget to 2.5% of national income from just over 2%.
Yet military insiders believe the armed forces are in need of clear direction now, not later.
Experts worry that waiting until 2025 for the government to produce yet another thorough plan for the size and shape of the army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force - framed by whatever ambitions Sir Keir has for them - will simply waste more time.
