Who became Prime Minister in 1951 (for the second time)?

Explanation:
The question checks your knowledge of who led Britain and when. In 1951, the general election brought the Conservative Party back to power, and Winston Churchill became Prime Minister for the second time. He had previously led the country as PM during World War II from 1940 to 1945, so his return in 1951 marked a second spell in office. The other names held the office at different times: Clement Attlee was PM from 1945 to 1951, Anthony Eden later in 1955–1957, and Harold Macmillan after that, in 1957–1963.
