Aftermath
When Philip Lucock was sworn in as the member for Lyne on 22 March 1952, he became the first member of the House of Representatives to swear allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II who had ascended to the throne on 6 February.[4]
At the following Federal election in 1954 Lancaster stood as an independent candidate against his former Country Party colleague.[5]
