Dick Mabon
Politician; Born November 1, 1925; Died April 10, 2008.Dick Mabon, who has died aged 82, was the sort of Scottish Labour MP who could safely be described as ebullient, and without any implied criticism. An able middle-ranking minister at the Scottish Office and Department of Energy, Mabon never quite reached cabinet rank, and killed any remaining chance of doing so by defecting to the SDP in 1981.
