Biographical Note
Ransley Victor Garland, politician, accountant and company director, was born in 1934 and grew up in Perth where he was educated at Hale School and the University of Western Australia. The only son of a professional accountant, Garland himself practised as a Chartered Accountant from 1958-69. He became active in community affairs, serving on a number of charities and on the Claremont Town Council from 1963-70 and in the Liberal and Country League of Western Australia (the W.A. Branch of the Liberal Party) where he held the position of Senior Vice President.
In April 1969 Garland was elected to the Federal seat of Curtin in the by-election resulting from Sir Paul Hasluck's resignation. Curtin, a blue-ribbon Liberal electorate, was held by Garland until early 1981.
During his parliamentary career Garland served as a Minister in the McMahon and Fraser Governments and as Chief Opposition Whip in 1974-75. Under McMahon he was Minister for Supply (1971-72) and Minister Assisting the Treasurer, B.M. Snedden (1972). Following the dismissal of the Whitlam Government and return to power of the Coalition in 1975, Garland was again appointed Minister Assisting the Treasurer and also Minister for Post and Telecommunications He resigned from that post following electoral malpractice allegations, of which he was subsequently exonerated in court. After a period on the backbenches he was reinstated by Malcolm Fraser as Minister for Veterans' Affairs (1977-78) and soon afterwards Minister for Special Trade Representations (1977-79), a portfolio which involved him in a number of overseas negotiations and trips to Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia. A Cabinet reshuffle in December 1979 saw Garland appointed Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs and Minister Assisting the Minister for Industry and Commerce.
A feature of Garland's political career was his involvement in numerous party and parliamentary committees including the House of Representatives Expenditure Committee (Chairman 1976-77) and Government Members Committees that he chaired on Foreign Affairs (1970-71), Taxation (1970-71) and Treasury (1977). He was also Parliamentary Adviser to the Australian Mission to the UN General Assembly in 1973.
Following the November 1980 elections, Garland left Parliament to take up the appointment of High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, succeeding Sir James Plimsoll. Garland served as High Commissioner from 1981-83. After 1983, Garland worked in London as director of more than thirty public liability companies (including three in the United States of America), some as Chairman. He was also appointed Vice-Chairman of the South Bank Board, established in 1985 to administer the South Bank Royal Festival Hall arts complex in London.
Victor Garland was knighted in 1982.

After the fall of the Whitlam government in 1975 Garland was again appointed to this post while concurrently serving as Minister for Post and Telecommunications. However he held these portfolios only briefly (December 1975 - February 1976) before allegations of electoral malpractice (of which he was later cleared in court) led to his resignation from the Ministry.
Garland's responsibilities as Assisting Minister included dealing with some of the letters received by the Treasurer, assisting in the routine administration of the Treasury, and involvement with the passage of relevant legislation, particularly by representing the Treasurer during the Committee stage of bills.

Series 20. Minister For Business And Consumer Affairs, Industry And Commerce 1977 - 80
From December 1979 until his resignation from the Ministry in November 1980, Garland was Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs and also Minister Assisting the Minister for Industry and Commerce. In the former role he was responsible for business regulation, prices policy, and the administration for protection policy (customs, quotas and tariffs).
This series comprises papers from Garland's Parliament House office files. The great majority concern the Business and Consumer Affairs portfolio. There is a small amount of material interspersed among the BACA papers relating to Garland's concurrent appointment as Minister Assisting the Minister for Industry and Commerce during this period.
In addition to copies of correspondence and minutes, there are papers on a diverse range of subjects relevant to Garland's work as Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs. These include companies and securities, industries, oil and petroleum, textiles clothing and footwear, trade practices, prices, bankruptcy, customs, and tariffs. Included is material on two of the most important areas of Garland's work in the portfolio: amendments to Section 45 of the Trade Practices Act (designed to protect small businesses from coercion by big businesses and unions), and marketing of petroleum products.
The original order of files in this series has not been maintained due to the state of the papers when received. However, in many cases file titles and contents reflect the original system.
There is a considerable overlap of subjects between files in the series. Further papers on Business and Consumer Affairs may be found in series 7.

Series 21. High Commissioner To The United Kingdom, 1977-83
Following the return of the Fraser Government in the November 1980 elections, Garland was offered the post of High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, and took up duty in 1981. In 1983 the Hawke Government appointed A.R. Parsons to replace Garland.
The series contains a variety of material on Garland's period at Australia House, as well as some dating to the time of Gordon Freeth and James Plimsoll as High Commissioners (1979-80). There are office files of correspondence and cablegrams, inquiries about migration to Australia, and papers concerning visitors, especially Australian politicians and officials. Garland's daily program as High Commissioner is recorded in office diaries. Other papers concern invitations received, functions, the running of Stoke Lodge, the involvement of Lady Garland - an accomplished pianist - in music and ballet organisations such as the Royal College of Music. Christmas cards received by the Garlands occupy four boxes.
