Stewart worked as a carpenter and joiner, and also spent time as a sergeant in the Parachute Regiment, and in the Merchant Navy. He joined the Labour Party, and served on Liverpool City Council from 1964, chairing its housing committee.[1]
At the 1984 European Parliament election, Stewart was elected in Merseyside West, serving until his death in 1996.[2]
