Harold Wilson imprisoned for fraud, and Sir Eric Miller, who later committed suicide while under police investigation for corruption. The Labour Party held an election to replace Wilson as leader of the Party (and therefore Prime Minister). Six candidates stood in the first ballot; in order of votes they were: Michael Foot, James Callaghan, Roy Jenkins, Tony Benn, Denis Healey and Anthony Crosland. In the third ballot on 5 April, Callaghan defeated Foot in a parliamentary vote of 176 to 137, thus becoming Wilson's successor as Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party, and he continued to serve as Prime Minister
Wilson prime Wilson prime A Wilson prime, named after English mathematician John Wilson, is a prime number "p" such that "p" divides ("p" − 1)! + 1, where "!" denotes the factorial function; compare this with Wilson's theorem, which states that every prime "p" divides ("p" − 1)! + 1. The only known Wilson primes are 5, 13, and 563 ; if any others exist, they must be greater than 2. It has been conjectured that infinitely many Wilson primes exist, and that the number of Wilson primes in an interval ["x", "y"] is about log(log("y")/log("x")).
