Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:EngvarB The 1922 Nottingham East by-election was held on 29 June 1922. The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Coalition Conservative MP, John David Rees. It was won by the Coalition Conservative candidate John Houfton.[1]

Candidates

The local Liberal Association, who had not contested the previous general election, at first selected local journalist Cecil Roberts to contest the seat.[2] However, he gave way for journalist Thomas George Graham. At the previous general election in 1918 Graham had contested Blaydon against a Liberal MP who had the support of the Coalition Government. Graham came third, polling only 5% of the vote.
