| Note:— |
| 1986: | Beer, Beasley and Desmond sought election as candidates of the 'Tower Hamlets Labour Party'. They were opposed to the selection of left wing candidates by the local Labour Party. Beasley had been the Leader of the Labour Group (and therefore also of the Council) for ten years. |
