Answer 3

James Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the start of 1976. After his resignation Leonard James Callaghan became the prime minister on April 5.

1976 was the end of 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, endorsing Callaghan as his successor.

James Callaghan was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1976 April 5 to 1979 May 4, as leader of the Labour Party. Prior to holding the post of prime minister, Callaghan had held various other positions including Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary. After various union unrest in 1978 to 1979, a non-confidence motion was passed. The Labour party was heavily defeated in the resulting election, and the Conservative Party took power.

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