Herbert Harvey Spencer (1869 – 23 February 1926) [1] was an English stuff manufacturer and trader and Liberal Party politician.
He faced no Lloyd George National Liberal opponent but was involved in a tight three-cornered contest with Labour and Conservative adversaries.
[12] Spencer held his seat at the 1923 general election in a similar three-party contest, despite being unwell and unable to campaign in person.
[16][17] The sort of difficulties which beset the Liberal Party in Parliament were apparent nationally at the 1924 general election.
[18] These electoral currents proved too strong for Spencer and in another three-cornered fight in Bradford South he lost to Labour's William Hirst, even falling to the bottom of the poll behind the Conservatives.
