Timeline

1923

Andrew Matthew William Faulds (1 March 1923 – 31 May 2000) was a British actor and Labour Party politician.

1945

He married Bunty Whitfield in 1945.

The couple had one daughter.

During the Second World War he served in both the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm.

1948

After graduating from the University of Glasgow, he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1948.

However, he first came to a wider public recognition playing Jet Morgan in Charles Chilton's radio drama Journey into Space on the BBC Light Programme.

1950

Increasing the Labour vote in the Smethwick constituency for the first time since 1950, Faulds defeated Griffiths in the 1966 general election and became Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency, being re-elected until his retirement in 1997.

1959

In 1959, Faulds and his wife played host to Paul Robeson, who had travelled to Britain to appear at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon in Tony Richardson's production of Othello.

Robeson had only recently been permitted again to travel abroad, following the revocation of his passport.

During this visit, Robeson inspired Faulds to take up political activism.

1960

Faulds maintained his acting career throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and in particular became a key part of film director Ken Russell's repertory company, appearing in, among other films, Dante's Inferno (1967) (as William Morris), The Devils (1971), Mahler (1974) and Lisztomania (1975).

1961

Another was in "The Radio Ham" (1961), an episode of Hancock, as the unseen voice of 'mayday'.

1963

One of Faulds' best-remembered roles is Phalerus in Jason and the Argonauts (1963), in which he took part in the skeleton fight scene that featured model work by Ray Harryhausen.

Faulds first stood for Parliament as the Labour candidate in the 1963 Stratford by-election, caused by the resignation of John Profumo over a security scandal.

He fought the constituency again in the general election the following year, but on both occasions he was beaten by the Conservative future Cabinet minister Angus Maude.

1964

In the 1964 general election, the Labour Shadow Foreign Secretary, Patrick Gordon Walker, was defeated in controversial circumstances in the Smethwick constituency by Conservative candidate Peter Griffiths.

Smethwick had become the home of immigrants from the Commonwealth in the years following the Second World War, and Griffiths' 1964 campaign was critical of Conservative government policy as well as of Labour statements on the issue.

1966

After a successful acting career on stage, on radio and in films, he was a Member of Parliament from 1966 to 1997.

Faulds was born to Church of Scotland missionary parents in Isoko, Tanganyika.

Due to his father's peripatetic vocation, he grew up in various parts of Britain, and was educated at George Watson's College, Edinburgh, King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth, Daniel Stewart's College, Edinburgh, and Stirling High School.

1967

Faulds became known for using controversial language in the House of Commons; for example, verbally attacking Norman St John-Stevas in a heated debate over abortion in 1967, saying that he "has not the capacity to put a bun in anybody's oven" (referring to Stevas’ homosexuality).

1968

Smethwick remained the focus of much racial tension in Britain throughout Faulds' time as an MP, in particular following the "Rivers of Blood speech" by fellow West Midlands MP Enoch Powell in 1968 which Faulds characterised as "... unchristian ... unprincipled, undemocratic and racialist."

1969

Faulds has sometimes been named as a supporter of capital punishment on the basis of off-the-cuff remarks, but he is listed in Hansard as voting against the restoration of the death penalty in 1969.

1970

Notably, he appeared in Russell's film The Music Lovers (1970) alongside Glenda Jackson, who, like him went on to become a Labour MP.

1973

In 1973, Labour leader Harold Wilson sacked Faulds as Labour's arts spokesman for accusing Jewish MPs of dual loyalty.

1974

The constituency was renamed Warley East in 1974.

1978

In 1978, he was pressured to apologise for calling John Davies, the Shadow Foreign Secretary at the time, a "fat-arsed twit"; ten years later he was reproached for calling David Shaw "an honourable shit".

1990

In 1990, he called prime minister Margaret Thatcher a "stupid, negative woman" for sending troops into the Gulf.

1993

A Europhile, Faulds was one of only five Labour MPs to vote for the Third Reading of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993 (which gave effect in UK law to the Maastricht Treaty) in 1993.

In so doing he defied his party whip, which was to abstain.
