   Who was Vince Gair?

   • Vince Gair was above all a controversial figure. Rotund, chubby faced, 5 ft 6 ins (168 cm) tall and 'invincibly amiable', he was nicknamed 'Friar Tuck'. While never a great policy innovator, in his prime he was a consummate political tactician and negotiator who 'could be wilful, impatient and . . . arbitrary'.

   Why did Gair resign?

   • The battle for control of the A.L.P. was waged both within and outside the party. Gair's relationship with the A.W.U., and especially its secretary R. J. J. Bukowski, degenerated to such an extent that the union eventually formed an unholy alliance with the T.L.C. to bring him down.
