Llewellyn Thomas Smith (16 April 1944 – 26 May 2021) was a British Labour Party politician. Smith was Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for South Wales East from 1984 to 1994, being re-elected in the 1989 European election.[8] While in this position, he worked with members like Alex Falconer, Stan Newens, and Alf Lomas to improve the democratic accountability of the parliament. At the 1992 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Blaenau Gwent, succeeding former Labour leader Michael Foot. He was a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, and defied various government whips. He opposed the private finance initiative, the creation of nuclear weapons, and Tony Blair's stance on the Iraq War. Meet him on a few occasions one being the 1992 Ebbw Vale Garden Festival, he was a very down to earth man and I liked him after painting Micheal Foot and the other local dignitaries He was second only to Peter Law in my eyes. For me is is an Honor to have meet and talked to all bar Aneurin Bevan.
