Colne Valley by-election, 1916
The Colne Valley by-election, 1916 was a parliamentary by-election held on 25 August 1916 for the House of Commons constituency of Colne Valley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
==Vacancy==
The by-election was caused by the disqualification of the sitting Liberal MP, the Reverend Dr. Charles Leach under the Lunacy (Vacating of Seats) Act 1886.〔The Times, 18 August 1916 p10〕 Leach had been an army chaplain during the war, visiting the wounded, and the strain of this task, coupled with his Parliamentary duties apparently caused him to suffer the breakdown which was to lead his committal to a private lunatic asylum.〔J. B. Williams, ''Worsted to Westminster: The Extraordinary Life of the Rev Dr Charles Leach MP''; Darcy Press, 2009 p270〕
Leach thus became the only MP ever to be disqualified from Parliament in accordance with the provisions of this Act.〔http://www.election.demon.co.uk/causes.html〕 Leach had been MP for Colne Valley since the January 1910 general election when he defeated the Independent Labour Party MP Victor Grayson.〔F W S Craig, ''British Parliamentary Election Results, 1885-1918''; Macmillan Press, 1974 p433〕
