A

Herbert Morrison’s Autobiography

Herbert Morrison, the son of a policeman, was born in Lambeth, London, on 3rd January, 1888. He lost the sight in his right eye at birth but this did nothing to stop his interest in, and success at, politics. He was educated at the local elementary school and left at 14 to become an errand boy. He quickly become active in politics joining the Independent Labour Party in 1906 and then, later, the Social Democratic Federation. A founder member of the London Labour Party, Morrison became Mayor of Hackney from 1920-21, a year after he married for the first time. Morrison was also elected to the London County Council (LCC) in 1922 and the following year he became MP for South Hackney in the 1923 General Election. The Zinoviev scandal led to the Labour defeat of 1924 and Morrison’s departure from the House of Commons, but he returned in 1929 and was appointed as Minister of Transport by Ramsay MacDonald.

A mere two years later he left again however, refusing to serve on MacDonald’s National Government. Although he was once again elected to the House in 1935, it was in the interim period sitting on the London County Council that he had some of his biggest local government achievements. These included unifying the transport system and creating a ‘green belt’ around the suburbs.

In 1940 he was appointed Minster of Supply in Churchill’s wartime coalition government and then, later that year, took over as Home Secretary with responsibility for air raid precautions and organisation of the National Fire Service. Two notable incidents which occurred while he occupied this post were his attempts to shut down the Daily Mirror and his release of Oswald Moseley from prison.

After the war, Morrison was responsible for drafting Labour’s manifesto which included blueprints for the nationalization and welfare programmes. 1945 also saw Morrison become deputy prime minister and leader of the House of Commons. Ill-health forced Ernest Bevin to resign in March 1951 and Morrison became Foreign Secretary, a post he held until Labour's defeat at the 1951 General Election. He remarried shortly afterwards, in 1955.

Morrison was due to reach the pinnacle of his political career on the retirement of Clement Attlee when it was assumed he would take over as leader of the Labour Party and become Prime Minister. Attlee delayed his retirement until December 1955, however, when Morrison was sixty-seven years old and the leadership contest which followed was won by Hugh Gaitskell, a much younger man. Morrison was later to write “I have been asked more than once if I feel that it is true that Attlee deferred retirement until it was over-late for me to succeed him. My answer has always been, regretfully but inevitably in view of the evidence, that this in my view is a correct interpretation”1. The experience left him very disillusioned and he resigned his deputyship of the party. He did continue with his political career, however, and in 1959 was created a life peer. Business in the House of Lords and the post of President of the British Board of Film Censors (1960) kept him active until his death in 1965.
