Who was Richard Austen Butler?

Correct Answer: A Conservative MP

Richard Austen Butler (1902–1982), commonly known as "Rab" Butler, was a Conservative MP and one of the most influential politicians in post-war British history.

He is best known for the Education Act of 1944 (often called the Butler Act), which transformed secondary education in England and Wales by making secondary schooling free and compulsory for all children up to age 15. The Act created the tripartite system of grammar schools, secondary modern schools, and technical schools.

Butler served in several senior cabinet roles including Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary, and Foreign Secretary, though he never became Prime Minister.
