A seat, a very short visitSourced
Mytton spent thirty minutes in the Commons
John Mytton became MP for Shrewsbury in 1819. He is recorded as spending only thirty minutes in the Commons that June, finding debate boring and difficult to follow with emerging deafness. He did not stand again in the 1820 election.
Holding the office and spending time in the chamber were different measures.
