Career
Known in The House for being a Member of Parliament who was not committed to personal advancement, he gave up his pay rise to the pensioners in 1964 along with another Glasgow Labour Member of Parliament. His swansong was, unfortunately, attempting to find a new permanent home for The Burrell Collection which, until the opening of a dedicated museum In Pollok Estate, was housed in Pollok House, Kelvin Grove Art Gallery and Museum and some dusty store rooms in the latter. He paired with Teddy, later Sir Edward, Taylor.
