The Camberwell North by-election, 1944 was a by-election held on 31 March 1944 for the British House of Commons constituency of Camberwell North. The by-election was triggered by the elevation to the peerage of the town's Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Charles Ammon, who was ennobled as Baron Ammon. The Labour candidate was Cecil Manning, who was unopposed by the other parties in the wartime coalition. The only other candidate was an independent, T. F. Disher, who had also contested the previous general election in 1935. The result was one of the lowest turnouts in a by-election on record: the number of available electors was estimated at around 8,000, and Manning was elected with just 2,655 votes against Disher's 674, a majority of just 1,981.[1] Results{{Election box begin | title=Camberwell North by-election, 30 March 1944}}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Labour Party (UK) |candidate = Cecil Manning |votes = 2,655 |percentage = 79.8 |change = +15.1 }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Independent (politician) |candidate = T.F.R.
