Lord Judd, Labour MP who fought apartheid and became a vigorous director of Oxfam – obituary
Persistent rather than militant, he was radical on foreign policy and was the first Labour figure to advocate a referendum on joining the EC

Lord Judd, who has died aged 86, was an internationalist Labour minister under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan who pressed for an end to white rule in southern Africa; he was later an equally committed director of Oxfam.
Frank Judd repeatedly cautioned Wilson against giving ground to Ian Smith after Rhodesia declared UDI; he was instrumental as minister for the Navy in ending the Simonstown Agreement with South Africa; and he protected the aid budget from cuts demanded by the IMF.

When Frank Judd became secretary general of International Voluntary Service in 1959 it was running 12 projects. In 1966, when he left following his election as an MP, there were 120 of them, and opportunities for long-term volunteering had been opened up at home and abroad.
During these years, IVS changed from “pick and shovel” action to responding to the changing needs of social communities across the world. Frank was a brilliant administrator and an inspiring speaker, and his achievements in these years set the scene for his future work with VSO and Oxfam.
