Talk:Richard Hazleton

Record Parliamentary comeback?
I note that he took the Chiltern Hundreds in May 1914 and was re-elected unopposed for the same constituency he resigned from in June 1914, an interval of 28 days. Is this a record? (Allowing for members who took advantage of a by-election after losing a previous seat in a General Election, or - like David Davis in Haltemprice - forced by-elections in protest.)Cloptonson (talk) 19:52, 28 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I have discovered David Davis beat Hazleton's 'record' by resigning formally on 18 June 2008 and being re-elected for his own same seat on 10 July following, 22 days later.Cloptonson (talk) 20:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
