However, Bellamy died in early 1931, and at the resulting by-election on 30 April, Broadbent was elected with a majority of 1,415, helped by a split in the Labour vote caused by the presence of a candidate for Oswald Mosley's New Party.

However,at the 1935 general election he was defeated by the Labour Party candidate Fred Simpson by a majority of only 114 votes.
