Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:EngvarB The 1906 Westbury by-election was a parliamentary by-election held for the House of Commons constituency of Westbury in Wiltshire on 26 February 1906.

Vacancy

The by-election was caused by the resignation of the sitting Liberal MP, John Fuller. Fuller had been appointed a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury, one of the formal titles held by government Whips[1] and under the Parliamentary rules of the day had to resign and fight a by-election.

Candidates

Fuller had been MP for Westbury since the general election of 1900 and had held the seat with a majority of 1,476 votes or 16.4% of the poll at the 1906 election just a month earlier. In all the circumstances, the Conservatives declined to stand a candidate against him.

The result

There being no other candidates putting themselves forward Fuller was returned unopposed.[2] He held his seat until 1911 when he resigned to take up appointment as Governor of Victoria in Australia.
