Details of the sponsorship of candidates by the Co-operative Party and ILP nominees in 1922, 1923 and 1924 were published by those organisations. Other figures were not collected and are therefore not known with certainty, but estimates of the number of trade union-sponsored candidates come from James Parker's Trade unions and the political culture of the British Labour Party, 1931-1940.
