Who was the mayor of London in 1975?

Answer 1

James Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1975.

This was Wilson's second term as prime minister. Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1974 March 4 March to 1976 April 5 and previously from 1964 October 16 to 1970 June 19.

Harold Wilson led the Labour Party from 1963 February 14 to 1976 April 5. A election in 1964 gave Labour a slim 4 seat majority in the assembly. However after the 1966 election their margin increased to 96 seats.

During Wilson's first term there was an unsuccessful attempt to avoid devaluing the pound. He re-nationalized the steel industry. Wilson allowed for social reforms while limiting Immigration into the United Kingdom. Attempts were made to improve education, but a promise to raise the education age to 16 was left unfulfilled. Labour was defeated in 1970 by the Conservatives.

After the 1974 election Labour was able to form a coalition with the Liberals to return to power. In Wilson's second term, there was increased social spending, with price controls and taxes on the rich. Wilson resigned in 1976.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland contains England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which do not have separate prime ministers.
