Peter Hain

There's a nice article in today's Wandsworth Guardian about Peter Hain, who as well as being a Cabinet Minister was for years a Putney resident and who contested this constituency for Labour in 1983 and 1987. Peter's parents, Ad and Walter are still active Labour members in Putney and there's a great deal of affection for his contribution locally, both within the party and in the wider constituency.

Nowadays, Peter lives just outside the constituency boundary in Wandsworth town - not far from where I grew up and went to school, in fact.
