Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Thomas Frederick Fred Peart, Baron Peart, PC (30 April 1914 - 26 August 1988) 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. The son of Emerson Featherstone Peart, a headmaster and leading Labour member of Durham County Council, and Florence Blissenden, Peart himself qualified as a teacher at the University of Durham in 1936. He served in the Royal Artillery 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.
