Holland with Boston by-election, 1929
- Holland with Boston by-election, 1929
The Holland with Boston by-election, 1929 was a by-election held on 21st March 1929 for the British House of Commons constituency of Holland with Boston in Lincolnshire.
The by-election was caused by the death of the town's Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) Arthur Dean, who had held the seat since the 1924 general election.
The election was marked by the presence of an Agricultural Party candidate, who appears to have split the Conservative vote.
The result was a victory for the Liberal Party candidate James Blindell, who overturned a Conservative majority of 4,770 to win by a majority of 3,706 votes. This was the last by-election gain for the Liberal Party until the Torrington by-election, 1958.
