The Conservative candidate was Terence O'Connor, the former MP for Luton, who had lost his seat at the 1924 general election.
The Liberal Party candidate was Reginald Berkeley, who had been MP for Nottingham Central from 1922 until he stood down in 1924.
He had unsuccessfully contested the 1929 general election in Aberdeen North.
Berkeley's 16.9% share was a long way below the 53.7% he had won when he last contested this seat, in 1923, reflecting the national decline in the fortunes of the Liberal Party.
