Morrison, Herbert

Morrison, Herbert (1888–1965). Labour Party politician and statesman. After he became secretary in 1915, Morrison's organizational skills accelerated the steady rise of the London Labour Party. Mayor of Hackney 1920–1, London county councillor from 1922, and MP for South Hackney in 1923–4, 1929–31, 1935–45 (and Lewisham 1945–59), Morrison led Labour to victory in the 1934 LCC elections. The culmination of his London‐based successes was the 1951 Festival of Britain. After a brief spell as minister of supply (May–October 1940), for most of the war he served as Churchill's popular home secretary (1940–5). In the post‐war Labour government, Morrison played a co‐ordinating role as lord president and leader of the Commons (1945–51) before an unhappy tenure as foreign secretary (March–October 1951). Despite serving as Attlee's deputy for a decade, Morrison was defeated for the Labour leadership in 1955, as he had been in 1935.
