OF ISSUE. Sir Edward Richard George Heath (1916-2005) was a Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom from 1970 to 1974 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1965 to
1975. In 1971 he signed the treaty bringing Britain into the European Community and
resigned as Prime Minister after trying in vain to form a coalition with the Liberal Party;
regardless losing a second general election in October that year, Heath vowed to continue as
leader of his party. In February 1975, however, his former Education Secretary Margaret
Thatcher challenged and defeated Heath to win the leadership. After his return to the
backbenches, he became an active critic of Thatcher's policies as leader and, from 1979, as
Prime Minister. Heath remained a backbench MP until retiring in 2001, serving as the Father
of the House for his last nine years in Parliament. In August 2015 police started investigating
multiple claims of historic child sexual abuse by Heath. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine
condition.
