1939 East Norfolk by-election

The 1939 East Norfolk by-election was a parliamentary by-election held on 26 January 1939 for the British House of Commons constituency of East Norfolk.

Previous MP

The seat had become vacant on 14 November 1938, when the constituency's National Liberal Member of Parliament (MP), William Lygon, Viscount Elmley had succeeded to the peerage as the 8th Earl Beauchamp. He had been East Norfolk's MP since he was first elected as a Liberal at the 1929 general election, when he gained the seat from the Conservatives. He joined the breakaway National Liberals in 1931, and at the following General election was not opposed by the Conservatives.

Previous result

General election, 1935: Norfolk East
Party Candidate Votes % ±%
National Liberal William Lygon 23,108 68.8 −11.0
Labour Norman R. Tillett 10,461 31.2 +11.0
Majority 12,647 37.6 −22.0
Turnout 33,569 66.8 −4.9
National Liberal hold Swing -11.0

Candidates

Only two candidates contested the by-election: Frank Medlicott for the National Liberals, and Norman Tillett for the Labour Party. Medlicott was a 36-year-old London solicitor who had not contested an election since standing for the Liberal Party at Acton in 1929. Tillett was a Norwich solicitor, whose great-grandfather and uncle were both Liberal MPs for Norwich. Tillett had fought the seat at the last general election.

A number of local Conservatives who were unhappy about supporting Medlicott tried to get an Independent Conservative candidate to stand. For a while, it seemed as if James F. Wright, the secretary of the Norfolk National Farmers' Union and former leader of the Agricultural Party, would run as an Independent Conservative, but by close of nominations, there were just the two candidates.

Result

Medlicott held the seat for the National Liberals, with a reduced but still substantial majority.

Aftermath

The 1945 general election was again a two-way contest between Medlicott and Tilett, and Medlicott held the seat.

General election, 1945: Norfolk East
Party Candidate Votes % ±%
National Liberal Frank Medlicott 23,307 55.8 −7.1
Labour Norman R. Tillett 18,467 44.2 +7.1

Turnout 41,774 68.9 +15.8
National Liberal hold Swing −7.1

When the East Norfolk constituency was abolished for the 1950 general election, he was returned for the new Central Norfolk seat.

Multiply perfect number

Number whose divisors add to a multiple of that number Demonstration, with Cuisenaire rods, of the 2-perfection of the number 6 In mathematics, a multiply perfect number (also called multiperfect number or pluperfect number) is a generalization of a perfect number. For a given natural number k, a number n is called k-perfect (or k-fold perfect) if the sum of all positive divisors of n (the divisor function, σ(n)) is equal to kn; a number is thus perfect if and only if it is 2-perfect.
