Twickenham by-election, 1932
The Twickenham by-election, 1932 was a parliamentary by-election held on 16 September 1932 for the British House of Commons constituency of Twickenham in Middlesex.
The seat had become vacant when the constituency's Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Sir John Ferguson (UK politician), died on 17 July 1932, aged 62. He had held the seat since a by-election in 1929.
The result was a victory for the 29-year-old Conservative candidate Hylton Murray-Philipson, who died in office two years later, which caused another by-election.
