He was one of four government ministers to lose their seats (along with Mitchell, John Scaddan, and Hubert Parker), although his defeat was to an "Independent Country" candidate, Frederick Warner.
Lindsay stood for East Province at the 1936 Legislative Council election, but was defeated by Garnet Wood.
