Tony Benn

Tony Benn was a British Labour Party politician.

In the late 1960s, he was the Minister of Technology for Harold Wilson and responsible for the Vault. Lethbridge-Stewart commented that Benn may be the only one who knew precisely where the Vault was. (PROSE: Beast of Fang Rock)

He served as the Home Secretary in the cabinet of Prime Minister Shirley Williams in 1976. (PROSE: No Future)

Behind the scnes

Tony Benn was the real-life Minister of Technology under Harold Wilson. He was a Cabinet minister in the 1970s but not Home Secretary; the Williams government is a fictional creation by Paul Cornell.
