Notes
1. Lord Grenville was the son of George Grenville who was Prime Minister from 1763-65.

2. In 1812 Spencer Perceval became the only Prime Minister ever to be assassinated when he was shot dead in the lobby of the House of Commons by a businessman who blamed him for the failure of his business.

3. In 1834 Sir Robert Peel's first administration became known as Conservatives rather than Tories.

4. In the middle of the 19th century the Liberal party developed out of the Whig party.
