1) how many are there
2) what is their status on Brexit day?
3) Are we therefore expecting to see a rash of by elections if there are a lot of 1 and 2 is not settled. ( not looking likely at the moment).

( not looking likely at the moment). My limited understanding is that the conditions of office only apply at the point of election. It will also be interesting to see how much local electorates drop post-Brexit in some areas. |

I know of at least one who recently took UK citizenship precisely to make sure she can stand again next time.
It requires 5 years continuous residency, so assuming you weren't living abroad in the year prior to being elected they all should be eligible by the end of their terms. However, there are sometimes issues with simple applications taking far too long to be processed.
