In 1983, in Caerphilly, it was the Liberal side of the Social Democratic Party-Liberal Alliance which put up a candidate. Davies therefore did not stand in Caerphilly, but was adopted in Basingstoke.
He lost comprehensively as it was a strongly Conservative seat. Hudson-Davies remains active in public life as chairman of a museum trust in the New Forest.
