It was an unlucky shake of the political dice that denied Lord Hogg of
Cumbernauld, then plain Norman Hogg, the post for which he was best
suited at Westminster, that of Labour's chief whip during the party's
long period of entrenched opposition in the 1980s. In an election for
the job in 1985, he came top in the first ballot of Labour MPs, but
subsequently lost by a single vote to the then Labour leader Neil
Kinnock's favoured candidate, Derek Foster, regarded in the leader's
office as a less independent-minded figure and one with whom it would
be easier to do business.
