East Renfrewshire by-election, 1930

Contents

[edit] Previous MP

The seat had become vacant on when the constituency's Unionist Member of Parliament (MP), Alexander Munro MacRobert, had died on 18 October 1930, aged 57. He had been East Renfrewshire's MP since winning the seat from Labour at the 1924 general election.

[edit] Candidates

The Unionist candidate was The Marquess of Clydesdale, eldest son of the 13th Duke of Hamilton.

The Independent Labour Party candidate was T. Irwin, and W. O. Brown stood for the Scottish National Party.

The Liberal Party did not field a candidate; it had last contested the seat in 1923, finishing a poor third.

[edit] Results

On a slightly-reduced turnout, the result was a victory for The Marquess of Clydesdale, who won 52% of the votes. He was re-elected at the next two general elections, remaining East Renfrewshire's MP until he succeeded to the Dukedom in 1940, triggering another by-election.
