Third National ministry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanley Baldwin formed the Third National Ministry in the United Kingdom on 7 June 1935. He was head of the ministry as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom until 1937, when the Fourth National Ministry was formed by Neville Chamberlain. This ministry was a "national government" coalition of the Labour Party, the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party and the Liberal Nationals.
