In addition, Judith Hart was, who was also a member of the Fabian Society, branch secretary of the Association of Scientific Workers ( ASCW ).

In the general election of October 8, 1959, she was first elected as a candidate of the Labour Party MPs in the House of Commons and represented there at first until its dissolution in 1983 the constituency of Lanark and then to 1987, the interests of the newly created constituency of Clydesdale.
