Ministerial by-election (UK)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Historically, members of some parliaments were required to seek re-election upon being appointed to a ministerial post. The

subsequent by-elections were termed "ministerial by-elections". These by-elections were usually a formality as they were

normally, but not always, uncontested by opposition parties.

Re-election was required under the Succession to the Crown Act 1707. The Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919 severely

restricted the necessity to seek re-election on appointment to government office. The Re-Election of Ministers Act (1919)Amendment Act 1926 ended the practice.[1]

In 1910 The Timesnewspaper noted that the relevant Act had been passed in the reign of Queen Anne "to prevent the Court

from swamping the House of Commons with placemen and pensioners", and described the process as "anomalous" and

"indefensible" in the 20th century.[2]

Between 1905 and 1922, there were eight instances when ministers were unsuccessful:

Pontypridd by-election, 1922 Thomas Arthur Lewis was defeated after being appointed a Junior Lord of the Treasury.

Dudley by-election, 1921 Sir Arthur Griffith-Boscawen was defeated after being appointed Minister of Agriculture.

Ipswich by-election, 1914 Charles Masterman was defeated in a subsequent attempt to return to the House of

Commons.

Bethnal Green South West by-election, 1914 Charles Masterman was defeated after being appointed Chancellor of the

Duchy of Lancaster.

Manchester South by-election, 1912 Sir Arthur Haworth was defeated after being appointed a Junior Lord of the

Treasury.

North Ayrshire by-election, 1911 Andrew Macbeth Anderson was defeated after being appointed Solicitor General for

Scotland.

Manchester North West by-election, 1908 Winston Churchill was defeated after being appointed President of the Board

of Trade

Brighton by-election, 1905 Gerald Loder was defeated after being appointed Lord Commissioner of the Treasury

An uncontested by-election.1.^Walker owned a stud of thoroughbred horses. When he was given a contract to supply horses to the Army, questions were raised

as to whether this contract disqualified him from the House of Commons, so Walker sought re-election in order to remove doubts

as to his position.
