	British Prime Ministers: Wilson, Harold (1916-1995)
		Wilson was first elected to the House of Commons in 1945 and was appointed president of the Board of Trade in 1947, becoming, at age 31, Britain's youngest cabinet minister since William Pitt the Younger in 1792.
		Wilson had widened his party's voting majority in the general election of 1966, but his popularity declined in the late 1960s, partly because of his assumption of direct responsibility for the economy shortly before the pound was devalued (Nov. 18, 1967).
		Harold Wilson's papers are held by the Bodelian Library at Oxford University, while his correspondence on colonial issues from the 1950's is held at the Rhodes House Library.

	Politics \| Harold Wilson
		Harold Wilson's "burning with the white heat of technology," and other famous phrases, sought to grapple with the era while never quite understanding what was happening to him or his government in a changing Britain and a dramatically changing world.
		Wilson's bonfire delighted the press and the public - but not many of his backbench MPs, particularly those on the left who regarded it as a clear sign that Wilson was really a right-winger at heart.
		Wilson himself, albeit later, as well as Lady Falkender, became persuaded that there was "something in it." At any rate those months between the two 1974 elections were certainly the time when Wilson pencilled a ring around the date of his resignation - to come shortly after his 60th birthday in March 1976.

	Wilson, (James) Harold - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Wilson, (James) Harold
		In terms of electoral success Wilson was an outstanding party leader, winning four of the five general elections he fought and causing Labour to be described as the ‘natural party of government’.
		Wilson turned his attention to industrial relations and awaited the report of the Donovan Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employers' Associations, which he had set up in 1965.
		The two years before Wilson's unexpected resignation were primarily occupied with the problems of reconciling EC membership (achieved by Edward Heath's government 1970–74) with calls within the Labour Party for withdrawal, and the revival of the economy without uncontrollable inflation.

	Wilson, Harold. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Wilson entered Parliament (1945) as a Labour member, and as president of the Board of Trade (1947–51) he ended many of the wartime controls on industry.
		Wilson also tried unsuccessfully to reach a settlement with the white supremacist regime in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), which unilaterally declared itself independent of Britain in 1965.
		Despite the fact that he headed a minority government (and was therefore very vulnerable to defeat in Parliament), Wilson announced his intention of implementing the controversial policies of renegotiation of the terms of Britain’s membership in the EC and nationalization.

	Obituary: Harold Wilson
		Harold Wilson, with his cheeky, cocky demeanour, his cheerful smile and his Yorkshire burr, summed up the confidence and hope.
		First, the same Wilson who had in opposition championed the low paid and the trade unions, threw all the forces of his rhetoric against an official strike of seamen, some of the lowest paid workers in the country.
		This is the amazing view that Harold Wilson went 'too fast', that he was 'too ambitious', that he set out to achieve a reform programme which simply wasn't possible.
