As his BBC NEWS Obituary says:
...Hear hear Sancho!<br /><br />As his <A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3390633.stm" REL="nofollow">BBC NEWS Obituary</A> says:<br /><br />On his retirement, he turned down the offer of a peerage, but accepted the title of Companion of Honour, which he said he regarded as a tribute to the whole trade movement.<br /><br />The Union gave him a £10,000 leaving present which left him shocked, embarrassed and annoyed. He gave it away to a pensioners' pressure group.<br /><br />After his retirement he channelled his energy into the campaign for winning better old-age pensions.<br /><br />He kept an office in the T&G's headquarters, working five days a week there, on a voluntary basis, as president of both the union's retired members' association and the National Pensioners' Convention.<br /><br />During his lifetime, he had roles with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), the Crown Agents, the Royal Commission on Criminal Procedure, the Special Committee on the Ports, the National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants, the Committee of Inquiry into Industrial Democracy, and Age Concern.<br /><br />In the words of an old cliche... they don't make them like that anymore!<br /><br />If only we had more (any) people of his substance around in public life these days!!Cybernesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600267408874449418noreply@blogger.com
