Timeline

1928

Alfred Morris, Baron Morris of Manchester, (23 March 1928 – 12 August 2012) was a British Labour Co-operative politician and disability rights campaigner.

1935

In 1935, the family left Ancoats and moved to a new housing estate in Newton Heath.

1946

Morris did his national service in the army, mainly in the Middle East, from 1946 to 1948.

1949

He then studied at Ruskin College, Oxford (1949–1950), St Catherine's College, Oxford (BA modern history 1953) and the Department of Education, Manchester University.

1950

He married Irene Jones in 1950.

They had two sons and two daughters.

1954

Morris worked as a Manchester schoolteacher and university extension lecturer in social history (1954–1956) and as an Industrial relations officer to the Electrical Supply Industry (1956–1964).

1964

Morris served as Member of Parliament for Manchester Wythenshawe from 1964 until 1997, having previously unsuccessfully fought the, then, safe Conservative seat of Liverpool Garston in 1951 and the Wythenshawe seat in 1959.

He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Fred Peart, the Agriculture Minister.

1967

Morris campaigned against British entry to the Common Market and in May 1967 Prime Minister Harold Wilson sacked him, and six others, for abstaining in a Commons vote on the issue.

Fred Peart did not appoint a replacement and Morris continued to work for him, albeit unofficially.

1968

In 1968, Peart became Leader of the Commons and reappointed Morris as his Parliamentary Private Secretary.

1970

In 1970 Morris successfully introduced the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, which was the first in the world to recognise and give rights to people with disabilities.

He was educated at Brookdale Park School Newton Heath along with Harold Evans, who, as editor of The Sunday Times, wrote a leader saying that: "As time ticked away to the 1970 general election, Alf Morris's Bill was the only piece of legislation worth saving."

He received evening school tuition.

He worked from the age of 14 as a clerk in the local Wilson's Brewery.

Morris, whose father lost an eye and a leg and was gassed while serving in the First World War, and then suffered a long decline in health and eventual death arising from his injuries, became a campaigner on behalf of those with disabilities.

After his father's death, Morris's mother was not entitled to a war widow's pension.

Forty years later, Morris himself put the matter right by changing the law affecting armed forces pensions when he became the UK and the World's first Minister for the Disabled.

1974

In 1974 he became the first Minister for the Disabled anywhere in the world.

1991

In 1991 he introduced a Civil Rights (Disabled Persons) Bill and he led campaigns on Gulf War Syndrome.

1995

He served as President of the 1995 Co-operative Congress.

Morris (one of the eight children of George Henry Morris and his wife Jessie Murphy) was raised in poor circumstances in Ancoats, Manchester.

1997

He was created a life peer as Lord Morris of Manchester, of Manchester in the County of Greater Manchester, in 1997.

He was a life member of the GMB Union, the general trade union of the United Kingdom.

2005

2012

He was survived by his wife and children.
