1942 Nuneaton by-election

UK by-election April 2022 June 2025 The 1942 Nuneaton by-election was a parliamentary by-election held for the British House of Commons constituency of Nuneaton on 9 March 1942. The seat had become vacant when the Labour Member of Parliament Reginald Fletcher was raised to the peerage as Baron Winster. He had held the seat since the 1935 general election. During World War II, the parties in the war-time coalition government had agreed not to contest by-elections where a seat held by any of their parties fell vacant, so the Labour candidate, Frank Bowles was returned unopposed. He represented the constituency until his resignation in 1965 to allow the election of the Minister of Technology Frank Cousins.November 20, 1964 Mr Cousins To Stand In Nuneaton https://books.google.com/books?id=iWNAAAAAIBAJ&dq=1942+Nuneaton+by-election&pg=PA1&article_id=4261,3035906 April 5, 2024 The Glasgow Herald 1 See also Nuneaton (UK Parliament constituency) Nuneaton 1965 Nuneaton by-election 1967 Nuneaton by-election List of United Kingdom by-elections References Nuneaton Category:1942 in England Category:Unopposed by-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom Category:By-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in Warwickshire constituencies Category:Nuneaton and Bedworth Category:20th century in Warwickshire Category:March 1942 in the United Kingdom
