Buckingham by-election, 1937
- Buckingham by-election, 1937
The Buckingham by-election of 1937 was a by-election held on 11th June 1937 for the British House of Commons constituency of Buckingham in Buckinghamshire.
The by-election was caused by the elevation to peerage of the town's Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) George Bowyer, who was ennobled as Baron Denham.
The result was a victory for the Conservative candidate John Whiteley, who was elected with a majority of over 5,000 votes. Whiteley died in office six years later, triggering another by-election.
