  Alfred Robens, Baron Robens of Woldingham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred (Alf) Robens, Baron Robens of Woldingham (18 December 1910 – 27 June 1999) was a British Labour politician and, later, chaired the National Coal Board.
Robens was an official in the Union of Distributive and Allied Workers from 1935.

Some anti-Gaitskell Laborites think that just such a man is Alfred Robens, 44, a burly, longtime trade unionist with a flat North-Country accent and a broad-humored Lancashire wife.
A veteran parliamentarian and nimble committeeman, "Alf" served as Minister of Labor in the last Socialist government, and was designated "Foreign Secretary" in the "shadow Cabinet" that would theoretically take over from the Tories if Labor wins the next election.
There is talk of grooming Robens for bigger things.

How the CP leaders encouraged productivity and prevented strikes is clear, for instance, from Thorez’s speech at Waziers on 21 July, 1945, where he caught a genuine [Lord Alfred] Robens-like accent:
