Campaign.
All three candidates were former Oxford Blues enabling the popular press to dub the campaign 'The Battle of the Blues'.
Former Liberal MP Frank Gray, despite being barred from standing, was still very popular in the constituency and he was active in support of Fry throughout the campaign. During the campaign Fry advocated the introduction of equal opportunities for women, the imposition of responsibilities on the fathers of illegitimate children and the introduction of a tax system that would give privacy and independence to married women.
Result.
The result was a gain for the Conservatives.
