18 October - incorrect entry[edit]

The claim "Barbara Castle was appointed as the British Minister for Overseas Development by Prime Minister Wilson, becoming the first female cabinet minister in the United Kingdom since Ellen Wilkinson's service in 1945 as the Minister of Education" is untrue - Florence Horsbrugh had been a member of Churchill's Conservative cabinet in the 1950s as Minister for Education (She was minister from 1951, but attentained cabinet rank in 1953). See her article for more details and also Third Churchill ministry. Castle was the first Labour woman to serve in cabinet since Wilkinson, which might be being confused here. As I do not have access to the cited source, I am uncertain if it is in error, or an error has been made during editing. However this probably should be changed.

"Home" caption[edit]

I have changed the caption referring to "UK Prime Minister Home's Conservatives" to "Douglas-Home's" as that is how he was most commonly referred to at the time and since. It was very rare to find him just referred to as Home. Dunarc (talk) 20:06, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for fixing the error. Mandsford 19:39, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's right; the confusion probably comes from the fact that he had previously been "Lord Home". Deb (talk) 09:23, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
