Richard Austen Butler,

Baron Butler of Saffron Walden, KG, CH, PC, DL (9 December 1902 – 8 March 1982), generally known

as R. A. Butler and familiarly known from his initials

as Rab, was a prominent British Conservative politician. The Times obituary called him "the creator of the modern

educational system, the key-figure in the revival of post-war Conservatism,

arguably the most successful chancellor since the war and unquestionably a Home

Secretary of reforming zeal."[1] He was one of his party's leaders in

promoting the post-war consensus through which the major parties largely agreed on the

main points of domestic policy until the 1970s, sometimes known as

"Butskellism" from an elision of his name with that of his Labour

counterpart Hugh Gaitskell. Born into a

family of academics and Indian administrators, Butler enjoyed a brilliant

academic career before entering Parliament in 1929. As a junior minister, he helped to pass the Government

of India Act, 1935. He strongly supported the appeasement of Nazi Germany in 1938–39. Entering the Cabinet in

1941, he served as Education Minister (1941–45,

overseeing the Education Act 1944). When

the Conservatives returned to power in 1951 he served as Chancellor

of the Prime

Minister (1962–63) Butler had an exceptionally

long ministerial career and was one of only two British politicians (the other

being John Simon, 1st Viscount Simon) to

have served in three of the four Great Offices of State but never to have been Prime Minister, for which he was passed over in 1957 and 1963. At the

time, the Conservative Leadership was decided by a process of private

consultation rather than by a formal vote. After retiring from politics in

1965, Butler was Cambridge.
