Peter Watt has been appointed as the General Secretary of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2005 by the Party's National Executive Committee. He will take over the position in January 2006 from Matt Carter.

Before this appointment he was the Labour Party's Director of Finance and Compliance, a role that bridges legal and financial party issues and also usually includes a tacit role of enforcing party discipline and sorting out internal disputes. He has worked for Labour for the past nine years in a variety of roles. Viewed as loyal to the party leadership, he has on occasion come into conflict with the trade union movement over party policy and organisation, especially apparent at the Labour Party's Annual Conference in 2005.

Prior to working at the Labour Party, Watt trained as a nurse, practicing from 1992 to 1996. He is married and the father of three children as well as an active foster carer.
