Edmund Dell (1921-99) was a prominent Labour politician, active during the 1960s and 70s. After serving during the Second World War he began a career in industry, working for ICI. In 1953 he became a city councillor for Manchester, and in 1964 was elected MP for Birkenhead. He remained an MP until his resignation from parliament in 1979; during that time he held the positions of Paymaster General (1974-6) and Secretary of State for Trade (1976-8), among others. Dell resigned from Parliament in order to take the position of Chairman and Chief Executive of the Guinness Peat Group, a position he held for four years. During the 1980s Dell co-founded the TV company Channel 4, of which he was also the founding chairman. During this time and throughout the 1990s Dell was also the Chairman of the Prison Reform Trust and the Public Finance Foundation. He was also heavily involved in many other charitable concerns, especially the Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge Appeal. Dell began writing steadily from the late 1980s, writing and publishing four histories of politics and economics until his death in 1999; a fifth book was published shortly after his death.
