The Parliamentary Elections (Casual Vacancies) Act,[6] provided that casual vacancies were filled by the next unsuccessful candidate on the incumbent member's party list. William Bagnall had the most votes of the unsuccessful Nationalist candidates at the 1925 election and took his seat on 30 September 1925.[7]
