Correct Answer - Option 4 : Winston Churchill

The correct answer is Winston Churchill.

  • Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of England when Cripps Mission arrived in India in the year 1942.

  • Winston Churchill was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from two years between 1922 and 1924.
    • Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was a British statesman, army officer, and writer.
  • The Cripps Mission was a failed attempt in late March 1942 by the British government to secure full Indian cooperation and support for their efforts in World War II.
    • Sir Stafford Cripps was sent by the British cabinet to India to settle terms with Indian leaders who were forthwith released.
    • Cripps proposed Dominion Status after the war but his proposal was rejected by all the political leaders.
    • As no party was agreed to accept these proposals, the Cripps mission ended in failure.
    • Gandhi said that Cripps' offer of Dominion Status after the war was a "post-dated cheque drawn on a failing bank".

  • Clement Richard Attlee was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 to 1951.
  • Pethick Lawrence or Frederick William Pethick-Lawrence was a British Labour politician and campaigned for women's suffrage.
    • From 1945 to 1947 he was Secretary of State for India and Burma, with a seat in the cabinet, and was involved in the negotiations that led to India's independence in 1947.
  • Albert Victor Alexander was a British Labour Co-operative politician.
