'It was represented by nine Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, only two of whom, Horatio Bottomley and Herbert Morrison, were returned.'

This does not make sense - were there 9 MPs or two, or were only two re-elected? Jackiespeel (talk) 18:55, 25 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand it either. I see from a quick glance at top of the results section that Herbert Butler was elected three times in a row, so they can't mean consecutively re-elected? I think it's just plain confusing, we usually have something like "Blank South was a parliamentary constituency that returned on member of parliament to the UK House of Commons" as the start of the lead. As it iis sounds like it was a nine-member constituency! Lozleader (talk) 13:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
