29 January 2006 |
"Victor Mishcon was an outstanding servant to the Labour Party both in local government and as a member of the House of Lords. He served for many years on the frontbench and his grasp of complex legal issues made him a formidable, highly persuasive and respected advocate and speaker. He was admired by political friends and opponents and will be greatly missed.''
Prime Minister Tony Blair
"A wise and decent man, a great lawyer who founded and led a great law firm. He was a man who put every community of which he was a member before himself. The law, the Labour Party and the Lords have lost a very big man."
Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer
“Lord Mishcon was an inspirational public servant and also a most eminent lawyer. As a long-serving and staunch supporter of the Labour Party he will be sorely missed by us all."
Labour Party chairman Ian McCartney
