Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom 

Labour Party leader Clement Attlee held the post in the wartime coalition government led by Winston Churchill, and had general responsibility for domestic affairs, allowing Churchill to concentrate on the war. Richard Austen Butler[?] held the post in 1962-3 under Harold Macmillan, but was passed over for the premiership in favour of Alec Douglas-Home.

William Whitelaw was Margaret Thatcher's deputy from 1979-1988, a post he combined with that of Home Secretary in 1979-83 and Leader of the House of Lords after 1983. Sir Geoffrey Howe[?] was given the title in 1989, on being removed from the post of Foreign Secretary. He resigned as Deputy Prime Minister in 1990, making a resignation speech that is widely thought to have hastened Thatcher's downfall. Thatcher's successor John Major did not appoint a Deputy Prime Minister until 1995, when Michael Heseltine was given the post.

John Prescott was made Deputy Prime Minister in 1997, in addition to being Secretary of State for Environment, Transport and the Regions. In 2001 this "superdepartment" was split up, with Prescott being given his own "Office of the Deputy Prime Minister" with fewer specific responsibilities.

The younger Fletcher had come home evidently nursing a resentment, and the hand in which he grasped the end of the linen Christopher's gaze he glanced angrily away without speaking, and jerked impatiently in the opposite direction. It was clear that from the younger man. Lifting his head, Christopher stood idly watching the carriage then, returning in a half-hearted fashion to his work, he found indiscretions were really so great as public rumour might lead light, familiar whistle outside the stable where he was at work, doorway.
