Harold Wilson- Wilson had been Prime Minister beforehand, from 1964 to '70, but returned to power on 4th March 1974, when Heath called an early election in a backfired attempt to confront striking miners.

Wilson succeeded in ending the Miner's Strike, introduced the Health & Safety at Work Act, and validated Britain's membership of the EEC in a 1975 referendum, but was involved in the 'Cod War', a fisheries dispute with Iceland. He resigned his office on 5th April '76 due to ill-health and was replaced by his Chancellor, Jim Callaghan.

Wilson died in 1995 and is buried on The Scilly Isles, off the coast of Cornwall.
