Conservative PM twice between 1834 and 1846 (4)

I believe the answer is:

peel

(Other definitions for peel that I've seen before include "5,27 [PRIME MINISTER]" , "old prime minister" , "Strip the skin off" , "A PM; a fortified tower" , "Remove skin from with blade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
