- Thomas Frederick "Fred" Peart, Baron Peart, PC was a British Labour politician who served in the Labour governments of the 1960s and 1970s and was a candidate for Deputy Leader of the Party. Peart qualified as a teacher at the University of Durham in 1936. He served in World War II, gaining the rank of Captain. Peart was elected Member of Parliament for Workington in 1945, serving until 1976. He initially served as PPS to the Minister of Agriculture & Fisheries (Tom Williams. Peart, along with the rest of the Labour Party, went into opposition after Sir Winston Churchill's 1951 election victory. In 1964, he returned to government after Harold Wilson defeated Sir Alec Douglas-Home at that year's election. He was appointed to the Cabinet holding the position Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, a senior one. His tenure saw advances in pay for agricultural labourers, and in technology. In 1968 Peart became Lord Privy Seal, with no particular responsibilities. This was because it suited Wilson to remove him from the Cabinet, but he wanted to keep him in the Cabinet. When the then Leader of the House of Commons was moved seven months later, Peart became Leader of the House of Commons, taking the subsidiary title Lord President of the Council. After Labour lost the 1970 election, Peart returned to opposition. When Labour returned to power, Peart became Agriculture Minister once more. Not long after Wilson stood down in 1976, Peart was made a life peer in 1976 as Baron Peart, of Workington in the County of Cumbria, serving as Leader of the House of Lords and Lord Privy Seal at a time when the Labour faction in the Lords was tiny compared to the vast Tory majority, mainly composed of hereditary peers, led by the elegant Lord Carrington, a hereditary peer, and Lord Soames, who although only a newly-created life peer was Churchill's son-in-law, and hence a member of the Spencer-Churchill-Vanderbilt family, one of England's and America's grandest aristocratic families. This was odd territory for a working-class man like Peart, but he handled the affairs of the Lords competently. After Margaret Thatcher won the 1979 election, Peart went into opposition once again. Lord Peart died in 1988.
