Although Grosvenor failed to win Fermanagh and South Tyrone, he was declared elected after the winning candidate was found to be ineligible.
By-elections, 1955-1959 [ edit ]
Although Beattie failed to win Mid Ulster, he was declared elected after the winning candidate was found to be ineligible, but was then in turn disqualified as ineligible, and a new by-election was held, which the Ulster Unionist Party did not contest.
