Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the appointment of the sitting Labour MP, J. R. Clynes as Minister of Food Control in the wartime coalition government of David Lloyd George, following the death of Lord Rhondda.[1] Under the regulations of the day, Clynes was obliged to resign his seat and fight a by-election.
