Sir Herbert Samuel has rejected his first opportunity to re-enter English politics.
A delegation of representatives of the Liberal Party of West Swansea extended a formal invitation to Sir Herbert to be their candidate to succeed the Rt. Hon. W. Runciman, who was elected from West Swansea in 1924.
Sir Herbert declined the invitation in view of the fact that he has not decided yet in which constituency he will wage his fight for election to parliament.
