Yes. Chamberlain stepped down on May 9, 1940, and Churchill became PM the next day. John Lukacs has written some books about this period -- including, in particular, Five Days In London -- which I highly recommend. There were some (Lord Halifax) in the government who favored seeking a separate peace with the Germans around that time. Churchill resisted, with -- crucially -- Chamberlain's support.
