About Richard Crossman
Richard Howard Stafford Crossman (15 December 1907 – 5 April 1974), was a British Labour Party politician. A university classics lecturer by profession, he was elected a Member of Parliament in 1945 and became a Bevanite on the left of the party, and a long-serving member of Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC) from 1952. He was a Cabinet minister in Harold Wilson's governments of 1964–1970, first for Housing, then as Leader of the House of Commons, and then for Social Services. In the early 1970s he was editor of the New Statesman. Crossman was a significant figure among the party's advocates of Zionism. Crossman is remembered for his highly revealing three-volume Diaries of a Cabinet Minister, published posthumously.

I suppose that as the virtues of our new comprehensives gradually become more widely known, the middle classes will get over the guilt that makes them pay so heavily for private schooling long after they have given up paying for private hospitalization. But I have no doubt that an ever-increasing number of young parents would be happier if a wicked socialist government compelled them to give up freedom of educational choice and accept compulsory state schooling for their sons and daughters.
