sentences:  1963 Kinross and Western Perthshire by-election
  
  The Kinross and Western Perthshire by-election of 7 November 1963 was a by-election to the House of Commons.It was unique among by-elections since 1918 in that one of the candidates was the sitting Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home; he was nominated for the constituency after disclaiming a peerage, as he felt he needed to be a member of the Commons rather than the House of Lords during his premiership.
