1943 The Hartlepools by-election
1943 The Hartlepools by-election was held on 1 June 1943.  The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Conservative MP, William George Howard Gritten.  It was won by the Conservative candidate Thomas George Greenwell, who was not opposed by a Liberal or a Labour candidate due to the war time electoral truce where the main parties pledged not to oppose each other's candidates until the end of the Second World War.
