Gervan McMillan

Gervan McMillan

Dr. David Gervan (known as Gervan) McMillan (1904 – 20 February 1951) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party, and a medical practioner.

He represented the Dunedin West electorate from 1935 to 1943, when he retired. He was a minister in the First Labour Government.

In 1940 he ran for the position of Labour Party leader, being nominated by Arnold Nordmeyer, a friend from Kurow and a supporter of John A. Lee. Clyde Carr also ran, but the winner to replace Savage was his deputy, Peter Fraser.

He was a Dunedin City Councillor for 1935-38, 1938-41, 1944-47 and 1950-51, when he died.
