The Short Parliament at Westminster began on 13 April 1640, and was held until 5 May. It sat for only 28 days, and was then dissolved. It was followed by the Long Parliament which began sitting in November 1640. Because of the short duration, several electoral disputes were not resolved before it was dissolved so in some instances there is an extra representative recorded.
