Notes
- Brown resigned his seat before the next election in 1978. He would later become a Harrogate Borough Councillor in 2008.[6][7]
- Procter became a Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber in November 2016. In 2017, Procter was not re-selected as a Conservative candidate to stand in his council ward at the 2018 election.[11]
- The by-election was called to find a successor to Gerald Wilkinson following his death in October 2019.[12][13]

gollark: IIRC, if we assume the LED is an ideal diode, it'll just always have a 2V potential difference across it (if there's more than 2V in the circuit and also it is the right way round oops).
gollark: Well, that would actually have been right if you used the right units then added 2, possibly.
