In 1922, Attlee was elected Labour MP for Limehouse, and in 1935 he became leader of the Labour Party. He served as Deputy Prime Minister under Winston Churchill in the coalition wartime Government from 1940 to 1945. In the 1945 election, Labour held its first overall majority in the House of Commons with a landslide victory. Attlee's government laid the foundations of the welfare state and nationalised the Bank of England, transport, communications, coal, gas and electricity, and the iron and steel industries. He stepped down when Labour lost the 1955 election and was succeeded as leader by Hugh Gaitskell.
