About
George Alfred Brown, Baron George-Brown, PC (2 September 1914 – 2 June 1985) was a British Labour politician who served as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party from 1960 to 1970 and also in a number of Cabinet positions, most notably as Foreign Secretary during the Labour government of the 1960s. He was a leader of the Labour Party's trade union right wing, and an effective election campaigner. Ultimately, however, he was unable to cope with the pressures of high office without excessive drinking. He was always known simply as "George Brown" and, in order that this name continued to be used after he was granted a peerage in November 1970, he insisted on combining his first name and surname to create the title "Lord George-Brown" of Jevington in the County of Sussex.
