Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Oxford by-election, 1924 was a parliamentary by-election held on 5 June 1924 for the British House of Commons constituency of Oxford. The seat had become vacant when the Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) Frank Gray had been unseated on petition, after his agent had falsified the account for his expenses at the 1923 election. Gray had held the seat since the 1922 election. The Conservative Party selected the 35-year-old Robert Croft Bourne, who had been a member of the New College boat which won silver in the men's eights at the 1912 Olympics.
