Contents

The seat had become vacant when the constituency's Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Sir John Ferguson, died on 17 July 1932, aged 62. He had held the seat since a by-election in 1929.

The result was a victory for the 29-year-old Conservative candidate Hylton Murray-Philipson, who died in office two years later, which caused another by-election.
