The Twickenham by-election, 1929 was a parliamentary by-election held on 8 August 1929 for the British House of Commons constituency of Twickenham in Middlesex. VacancyThe seat had become vacant when the constituency's Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Sir William Joynson-Hicks, had been elevated to the peerage as Viscount Brentford. He had held the seat since its creation for the 1918 general election. CandidatesThe Liberal Party ran 55 year-old Frederick Graham Paterson. He was a barrister of Gray's Inn, educated at New College, Oxford.[1] He had been Liberal candidate here at the last general election and had previously contested Lowestoft in 1923 and 1924.[2] ResultThe result was a narrow victory for the Conservative candidate Sir John Ferguson, from whom the Conservative Central Office withdrew support over his advocacy of Empire free trade. Ferguson died in office three years later, triggering the 1932 Twickenham by-election. {{Election box begin ||title=Twickenham by-election, 1929 }}{{Election box winning candidate with party link| |party = Unionist Party (UK) |candidate = John Ferguson |votes = 14,705 |percentage = 47.7 |change = -0.8 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Labour Party (UK) |candidate = Thomas Jackson Mason |votes = 14,202 |percentage = 46.1 |change = +11.3 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Liberal Party (UK) |candidate = Frederick Paterson |votes = 1,920 |percentage = 6.2 |change = -10.5 }}{{Election box majority| |votes = 503 |percentage = 1.6 |change = -12.1 }}{{Election box turnout| |votes = 30,827 |percentage = 49.5 |change = -20.3 }}{{Election box registered electors| |reg. electors = 62,264 }}{{Election box hold with party link| |winner = Unionist Party (UK) |swing = -6.6 }}{{Election box end}} See also
