| Note:- |
| 1992: | A petition was lodged relating to this election, but was dismissed. The petitioner had alleged that Hendron had failed to return his election expenses within 35 days of polling day, had overspent the maximum by £800, and failed to pay his election expenses within 28 days of polling day. The election court ruled on 22nd February 1993 that Hendron had breached the law on all three of these grounds, but granted him relief on all three as the irregularities had not been delibarate. |
