Wilson, Sir James Harold, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx (1916-1995), British Prime Minister (1964-1970, 1974-1976), Typed Letter Signed as Member of Parliament on House of Commons letterhead, one page, 7½ x 9½ London, June 22, 1964. To George W. Farmer in Romford, Essex concerning alarm over the rates system and the Labour position of calling for an inquiry into the entire system. "While the need for such an inquiry has been conceded at last by the present Government it is certain that the solution of this problem will fall to the incoming administration." Very Fine.

Partly aided by the scandalous Profumo Affair, Wilson won the General Election of October 15, 1964, after thirteen years of Tory rule.
