Noel-Buxton was elected as Member of Parliament for North Norfolk at a by-election in 1930, after her husband, the MP Noel Buxton was elevated to the peerage as Baron Noel-Buxton. He had been Liberal Party MP for the seat until he was very narrowly defeated in 1918. After switching to the Labour Party he regained it in 1922 and held it at the next three elections. At the by-election Lady Noel-Buxton won the seat with a majority of only 139 votes over the Conservative candidate Thomas Cook. [4] Cook opposed her again at the 1931 general election and this time she lost by nearly 7,000 votes as Labour suffered a landslide defeat nationally. She stood again at the 1935 general election, and was again defeated, but did manage to halve Cook's majority. [4]
