	James Callaghan
		Callaghan was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1964 to 1967 during a turbulent period in the British economy in which he had to wrestle with a balance of payments deficit and speculative attacks on the pound sterling.
		Callaghan was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport in 1947 where his term saw the introduction of zebra crossings, and an extension in the use of cat's eyes.
		Callaghan's support for and from the union movement should not be mistaken for a left wing position: unlike Wilson, Callaghan had been a supporter of Hugh Gaitskell in the battles over Labour's direction in the 1950s and he settled old scores by sacking the Bevanite Barbara Castle when he became party leader.

	BBC - History - James Callaghan (1912 - 2005)
		Callaghan was British Labour prime minister from 1976 to 1979, years dominated by economic recession and industrial militancy which contributed to the election of the Conservatives and Labour's exclusion from office for the next 18 years.
		Callaghan was born on 27 March 1912 in Portsmouth and began working life for the Inland Revenue at the age of 16.
		Callaghan also made a decisive intervention against Barbara Castle's plans for a wages policy in 1969, a move that reinforced his credentials as a staunch ally of the trade unions, but also contributed to the unravelling of Labour's economic strategy in the 1970s.

	unofficial labour history
		Despite Callaghan's confident assertion at a torrid 1976 Party Conference that "you could not spend your way out of a recession," many in the labour movement view the spending cuts with absolute horror, as a return to the days of the early 1930s.
		Callaghan is a rather inflexible and austere Prime Minister, and having taken a personal interest in the fight against inflation, directs his policies towards this aim.
		The personal appeal of Jim Callaghan is highlighted in broadcasts, as being a "safe pair of hands" who would hold the ship of state "steady as she goes." In this intense period of politics, this is probably not the best way of proceeding - there have been many mistakes in the previous years.

		When Wilson named Callaghan as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then put George Brown in the new post of Minister for Economic Affairs, the immediate result was tension between the two.
		Callaghan's job, after all, required him to keep a cautious eye on the cash available in the Treasury, and Brown's ministry was necessarily dedicated to expansion.
		Between them, Callaghan and Brown worked out most of the details of the austerity budget, and Brown has succeeded—on paper at least—in getting a considerable number of trade unions and employers to agree in principle to hold the line on wages and prices.
