Alfred Robens, Baron Robens of Woldingham
Alfred Robens, Baron Robens of Woldingham, PC, sometimes known as Alf Robens, was an English trade unionist, Labour politician and industrialist.

His outlook was paternalistic; in later life, he moved away from his early socialism towards the Conservative Party. His reputation remains tarnished by his failure to have foreseen and prevented the Aberfan disaster, followed by actions widely regarded as insensitive during this disaster's aftermath.
