Attlee fills two gaps as Bevan and Wilson quit
Prime Minister Clement Attlee named two new ministers to replace Aneurin Bevan and Harold Wilson who resigned over the British rearmament drive. Sir Hartley Shawcross was named president of the Board of Trade and Alfred Robens became minister of labour, while John Freeman quit as parliamentary secretary to the ministry of supply. Wilson and Bevan denounced rearmament and stockpiling, urging support for the party in difficult times as Labour factions conflate unity and dissent.
