==Political life==
Ennals stood unsuccessfully as a [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]] candidate for [[Richmond (Surrey) (UK Parliament constituency)|Richmond (Surrey)]] in the [[United Kingdom general election, 1950|1950 general election]] and again in [[United Kingdom general election, 1951|1951]].<ref>[http://www.politicsresources.net/area/uk/ge51/i07.htm UK General Election results: October 1951]</ref> He later joined the Labour Party and served as secretary to the international department at the Labour Party's head office.

In [[United Kingdom general election, 1964|1964]] he was elected as the Member of Parliament for [[Dover (UK Parliament constituency)|Dover]]. Following the [[United Kingdom general election, 1966|1966 election]], [[Harold Wilson]] appointed Ennals as [[Under-Secretary of State for the Army|Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Army]]. He moved to become [[Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department|Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department]] in 1967 under [[James Callaghan]] before being appointed as a [[Minister of State for Social Services]] in 1968. He lost his government post and his seat following Labour's defeat in the [[United Kingdom general election, 1970|1970 general election]].

Ennals returned to parliament representing [[Norwich North (UK Parliament constituency)|Norwich North]] following the [[United Kingdom general election, February 1974|February 1974 general election]] as was appointed [[Minister of State for Foreign Affairs|Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs]]. In 1976 he became [[Secretary of State for Social Services]],<ref>[http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/rp2009/rp09-031.pdf House of Commons Library: Members Since 1979]</ref> which he held until Labour lost power in [[United Kingdom general election, 1979|1979]]. During his tenure he appointed [[Douglas Black (physician)|Sir Douglas Black]] to produce the [[Black Report]] (published in 1980) into health inequality. After losing his seat in the [[United Kingdom general election, 1983|general election of 1983]], he was created a [[life peer]], as '''Baron Ennals''', of Norwich in the County of Norfolk.<ref>{{LondonGazette|issue=49477|startpage=12063|date=14 September 1983|accessdate=2009-09-13}}</ref>

He may be the only politician to be remembered for telling the truth and being laughed at for it. In a debate on health inequalities he told the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] that "people who smoke cigarettes are going to die" - and a Member sang the line from "[[Fame (Irene Cara song)|Fame]]": "I'm gonna live forever". The House collapsed in laughter and Ennals never quite lived the joke down {{Citation needed|reason=This claim needs a reliable source. Hansard contains no record of this incident.|date=April 2012}}.

==Other work==
Following his exit from parliament in 1970, Ennals became Campaign Director for the [[Mind (charity)|National Association for Mental Health]] (MIND), which he served as until 1973. He became Chairman in 1984, and served as President from 1989 to 1995.

After serving as secretary to the [[United Nations Association]] from 1952 to 1957, he became Chairman in 1984, as well as Chairman of the [[Gandhi Foundation]], which he held until 1995.

==Personal life==
Ennals married Eleanor Maud Caddick (born 1924/1925) on 10 June 1950, and they had four children before they divorced in 1977. Later that year he married Katherine Gene Tranoy (born 1926/1927).

Ennals's younger brother, [[Martin Ennals]], was a human rights activist and Secretary-General of [[Amnesty International]]. His son, [[Paul Ennals|Sir Paul Ennals]], is chief executive of the [[National Children's Bureau]].

He died in 1995 of [[pancreatic cancer]] at his home in [[Belsize Park]], [[London]].
