In full: Haltemprice candidates

Half of the 26 candidates who are standing on 10 July are independents

A total of 26 candidates - half of them independents - will contest the by-election sparked by the resignation of senior Tory David Davis as an MP.

The ex-shadow home secretary quit to generate a debate on civil liberties, especially the government's 42-day detention limit for terror suspects.

Neither Labour nor the Liberal Democrats will field a candidate in Haltemprice and Howden on 10 July.

At the 2005 general election, Mr Davis won with a majority of 5,116.

It is thought to be the highest number of candidates ever to stand at a by-election in recent times.
