I removed the claim that Griffith-Boscawen was defeated by James Chuter Ede at the Mitcham by-election because in Maurice Cowling's The impact of Labour it says Griffith-Boscawen was defeated by an unamed Independent Conservative. The page on James Chuter Ede claims he entered Parliament in 1923 for South Shields.

The introduction to Chuter Ede's wartime diaries suggests otherwise. The Times guide to the Commons states that South Shields was a Labour gain in 1929 and that Ede had previously sat for Mitcham. I think Cowling is mistaken or mixing up the elections (remember Griffith-Boscawen was defeated three times in three years). Timrollpickering 08:47, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
