Chamberlain keeps his seat

Chamberlain retained his parliamentary seat yesterday. In East Norwich, he had enough votes even with a decreased majority.

F. Medlicott, a Liberal National who supports the Prime Minister, was elected to the House of Commons with 18,257 votes. The opposition, N.R. Tillett, had 10,785 votes. This was a majority of 12,647 votes for the government in the 1935 election.
