Up until the 20th May it was the Conservative Andrew Bonar Law, who was a Canadian and the only British Prime Minister ever to be born outside of the country. However, he was forced to resign due to ill-health after only 6 months in office, and died in the November of that year.

He was replaced on 23rd May by his Chancellor Stanley Baldwin, but after calling a general election he failied to win a majority of seats in thew Commons, so headed only a minority Government until resigning on 16th January the following year after losing a Confidence Vote.

However, Baldwin returned in subsequent years to serve two more terms as Prime Minister, from 1924-'29 and from 1935-'37. He died in 1947 at the age of 80.
