Schofield resigned his seat less than two years later, on 21 January 1953, "because he did not like Westminster". and at the resulting by-election on 31 March, the future cabinet minister Roy Mason was elected as his replacement, who in contrast served 34 years representing Barnsley. Schofield died in Barnsley in 1992 aged 81.
