London, June 13.
The bye-election in the Bow and Bromley division of Poplar, caused by the death of Mr. George Lansbury (Labour) on May 7, has resulted in an overwhelming victory for Mr. Charles Key, also a member of the Labour Party, over his Communist opponent, Mrs. Isabel Brown.
Mr. Key polled 11,088 votes against only 506 for Mrs. Brown, who is the ninth "stop-the-war" candidate to lose the deposit at a bye-election since the war began.
In the last election, the polling figures were: 19,064 votes
