The seat had become vacant upon the death of the Conservative Member of Parliament Richard Holt on 20 September 1991. Holt had held the seat since the 1983 general election.

The by-election was won by the Labour candidate, Ashok Kumar. It was held on the same day as a by-election in Kincardine and Deeside, which the Conservatives also lost.
