The Norwich Labour Party and Trades Council repudiated Roberts because he accepted office in the Coalition Government. However, the National Executive of the Labour Party endorsed him, so he stood as an official Labour Party candidate. Due to the wartime electoral truce between the main parties, Roberts was returned unopposed.[1]
