Shand was born in 1911 in Oamaru. He received his education at Christ's College, the University of Canterbury and the Canterbury Agricultural College.[1]
He first stood for Parliament in 1943 against the incumbent Labour representative in the Marlborough electorate, Edwin Meachen, and was unsuccessful.[1] At the next election in 1946, he was successful and held the Marlborough electorate until 1969, when he died.[2]
He was a cabinet minister; Postmaster-General (1954–1957), Minister of Labour (1960–1969), Minister of Immigration (1960–1969), and Minister of Mines (1960–1969), and Minister of Electricity (1963–1969).[3]
Claude H. Weston, an early president of the National Party, was his father-in-law.[4]
Shand died on 11 December 1969,[1] just twelve days after being re-elected in that year's general election.
