Life peerages created by Edward Heath (1970–74)
Sir Edward Richard George Heath, KG, MBE (9 July 1916 – 17 July 2005), often known as Ted Heath, was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1970 to 1974 and leader of the Conservative Party from 1965 to 1975. Heath's accession represented a change in the leadership of the Conservative party, from aristocratic figures such as Alec Douglas-Home to the self-consciously meritocratic Heath, and later, Margaret Thatcher.
He is remembered as being the Prime Minister who took Britain into the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973. Heath's premiership was also marked by an escalation of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and industrial disputes, including the Three-Day Week in 1974.
