The 1962 South Northamptonshire by-election was held in 1962 when the incumbent Conservative MP Reginald Manningham-Buller was elevated to the House of Lords.
It was retained by the Conservative candidate, Albert Jones.
[1] At the time of the by-election, independent candidate Buchan was serving in the British Armed Forces.
The law stated that, on standing in a Parliamentary election, he would be released from the Forces; this was, therefore, a way to receive an early honourable discharge, for the cost of a lost deposit.
