    What is the most number of former British Prime Ministers alive at any one time?

    Question #76189. Asked by zeller. (Feb 21 07 6:38 PM)


    bloomsby

    		For much of Margaret Thatcher's premiership the following were alive:

    Harold Macmillan (PM 1957-63 - died 1986)
    Alec Douglas-Home (PM 1963-64 - died 1995)
    Harold Wilson (PM 1964-70 and 1974-76 - died 1995)
    Edward Heath (PM 1970-74 - died 2005)
    James Callaghan (PM 1976-79 - died 2005)

    So, for the period 1979-86 that gives five former PMs.

    I worked this out from information available on the Number 10 website. Eden died in 1977 and didn't quite make it into this period.
