Former prime minister Lord Wilson of Rievaulx is to be honoured with a memorial stone in Westminster Abbey.
Harold Wilson, who died in 1995 aged 79, won four general elections and was prime minister from 1964 to 1970 and from 1974 to 1976.
Under his leadership, his government supported backbench MPs in liberalising laws on censorship, divorce, abortion and homosexuality and he abolished the death penalty in 1965.
