		Sure enough the Conservatives, infuriated by what he had done to Lord Avonside, did not make him a judge.

	Land Of The Nearly Free
		The same Alf Young who in 1975 worked as the Scottish Labour Party's research officer.
		Who asked the then-UK Energy Minister Dickson Mabon to breach the ministerial code and use his supposedly apolitical civil servants to "prepare some return ammunition (on oil revenues), as it would be useful to me".
