| | | | 10 Downing Street: Encyclopedia II - Dates in Harry Potter - Contradictions There are numerous contradictions in the timeline, though it should be noted that Rowling herself has admitted having difficulty with managing mathematics in the FAQ section of her website, so perhaps perfect internal consistency is not to be expected.

| | | | 10 Downing Street: Encyclopedia II - Harold Wilson - Prime Minister In 1964, Wilson narrowly won the general election with a majority of four and became Prime Minister.

On 1 June 2005 files were released showing that Wilson was concerned that, while on the Isles of Scilly, he was being monitored by Russian ships disguised as trawlers. MI5 found no evidence o ...

However he was soon to begin negotiations with ...
