died July 6, 1960, Chesham, Buckinghamshire

British politician.

As a young man, he entered Labour Party Politics and was elected to the House of Commons in 1929. He overcame a speech impediment to become a brilliant orator. As minister of Health in Clement Attlee's government (1945-51), "Nye" Bevan established the National Health Service. He was minister of labour (1951) but resigned in protest against rearmament expenditures that reduced spending on social programs. A controversial figure in the Labour Party, he headed its left-wing (Bevanite) group and was the party's leader until 1955.
