Leslie Ruthven Pym
MP for Monmouth 1939‑1945
Pym was one of four men during the twentieth century who were posthumously elected to Parliament. The other three were Thomas Higgins (Galway North 1906), Archibald Noel Skelton (Scottish Universities 1935) and Sir Edward Taswell Campbell (Bromley 1945). For further information on each of these cases, see the notes at the foot of the pages which contain the various constituencies.
Polling in his seat took place on 5 July 1945. On 17 July 1945, Pym died in hospital. In a remarkable coincidence, he died the same day as Sir Edward Campbell, who was posthumously returned for Bromley. The declaration of the poll occurred on 26 July, when he was posthumously declared elected. At the subsequent by-election, he was replaced by the future cabinet minister Peter Thorneycroft, who had been defeated in Stafford in the 1945 general election. Leslie Pym was the father of Francis Pym (later Lord Pym), who was a senior cabinet minister under Margaret Thatcher.
James Walker
MP for Newport (Monmouthshire) 1929‑1931 and Motherwell 1935‑1945
According to the Manchester Guardian of 6 January 1945:-
Mr. James Walker, Labour M.P. for Motherwell since 1935, died in the Royal Sussex County Hospital, at Brighton, last night after being knocked down by an Army lorry yesterday near his home at Saltdean, Sussex. He was removed to hospital suffering from a suspected fracture of the skull and a fractured arm, and died without regaining consciousness.
Mr. Walker, who was 60 years of age, was born in Glasgow and began his working life as a steel smelter. For eighteen years he was organiser of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation and was chairman of the Labour party in 1940. Before being elected for Motherwell he represented Newport from May, 1929, to October, 1931.
Brighton police last night issued a notice asking the lorry-driver, who, it is stated, did not stop and may not be aware of the accident, and any other person who can give information on the matter to communicate with them.
