Data for the British General Elections

Good day.


I was wondering if anyone knows where one can get data for United Kingdoms' General Elections, especially for the interwar era. I would need data for every constituency, making it a bit harder to find. Preferably it should be available online, but book recommendations are fine too.

Go into the list that you wish to see:
1922
1923
1924
1929
1931
1935
[1935, would be the last general election before 1945, due to the onset of the Second World War.]
Then click on the Constituency that you wish to see, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_1930s
And you can see that in
General Election 27 October 1931: Parliamentary Borough of Greenwich
Composed of the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich
Electorate 63,385, Turnout %,
Party Candidate Votes % ±%
Conservative Sir George Hopwood Hume 29,278 65.0 +26.9
Labour Edward Timothy Palmer 13,722 30.5 -15.8
Communist Mrs K Duncan 2,024 4.5 N/A
Majority 15,556 34.6
Turnout 45,024 71.0

Hope this helps
 
Yea, I just wish there was a list with the results too, including both winners and losers. I guess I'll have to do some copying from each constituency's wiki.
