- Cambridge by-election, 1922
The Cambridge by-election, 1922 was a by-election held on 16 March 1922 for the British House of Commons constituency of Cambridge.
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the town's Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) Sir Eric Geddes, who had held the seat since 1917.
The result was a victory for the Conservative candidate Sir George Newton, who held the seat until his elevation to peerage in 1934 as Baron Eltisley.
