Treasurer

Henry Cox

Henry Cox has been Hon. Treasurer for over 10 years. He practised as an engineer for over 35 years, changing to transistor and digital systems in 1958. He now applies his experience of plant control systems to the design of policies. He is an experienced gardener, and remembers the "compost fiends" of the 1940s. After parting with paid work in 1985, he has done more gift work in gardens and houses, and objects to domestic work being denied as work, as productive. He follows new economics, but is still waiting for academia to change. Henry was at the two green gatherings of 1983, when the SDP Greens had brought the word Green into politics, and has attended Party Conferences ever since.
