The Right Honourable George Alfred George-Brown, Baron George-Brown, P.C.
* Born: 2 September 1914
* Died: 2 June 1985
Brown was born in his maternal grandmother's flat, which was in a working-class housing estate in Lambeth built by the housing charity the Peabody Trust. His father had worked as a grocer's packer, lorry driver and served in World War I as a chauffeur to senior army officers. Brown went to Gray Street Elementary School in Blackfriars where he did well enough to pass an entrance examination to the West Square Central School, which was a junior grammar school. Brown had already adopted his parents' left-wing views and later claimed (probably accurately) to have delivered leaflets for the Labour Party in the 1922 general election when he was 8 years old.
