Who was the British Prime Minister at the time of Edward VIII's abdication?

Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley (3 August 1867 – 14 December 1947) was a British statesman of the Conservative Party who dominated the government in his country between the world wars. Three times Prime Minister, he is the only British premier to have served under three monarchs (George V, Edward VIII and George VI).

In 1935, Baldwin replaced MacDonald as Prime Minister of the National Government and won the 1935 general election with another large majority. During this time, he oversaw the beginning of the rearmament process of the British military, as well as the very difficult abdication of King Edward VIII. Baldwin's third government saw a number of crises in foreign affairs, including the Spanish Civil War. Baldwin retired in 1937 and was succeeded by Neville Chamberlain.
