During World War II , the parties in the War-time Coalition Government had agreed not contest by-elections where a seat held by any of their parties fell vacant, so the Conservative candidate, Randolph Churchill (son of Prime Minister Winston Churchill ), was returned unopposed. He represented the constituency until his defeat at the 1945 General Election . SEE ALSO
