The members of the 25th General Assembly of Newfoundland were elected in the Newfoundland general election held in May 1923. The general assembly sat from 1923 to 1924.[1]
The Liberal Reform Party, an alliance between the Liberals and the Fishermen's Protective Union, formed the government. Richard Squires served as Newfoundland's prime minister until July 1923[2] when he resigned as prime minister after his government was accused of misuse of public funds. William Warren succeeded Squires as government leader but his government was defeated by a motion of no confidence in April 1924. A new government led by Albert Hickman was formed bringing together some Liberal Reform MHAs and some MHAs from other parties to form the Liberal-Progressive Party which governed as a caretaker administration for 33 days until the general election held in June 1924.[1]
Harry A. Winter served as speaker.[3]
Sir William Allardyce served as governor of Newfoundland.[4]
