Series: War Cabinet Lord President's Committee L.P. (40) and L.P. (S) (40)
Peter Ciuffetti
A file of memoranda, meeting minutes, and statistical information concerning the workings of the Lord President's Committee on domestic affairs during the Second World War. The documents discuss the British government's proposal to implement a system of means-testing to the British welfare system, ensuring that those in need of welfare payments are granted them according to their level of need; and the committee's efforts to requisition factories and warehouses around the country to ensure that Britain's supplies of key commodities are protected from German air raids. The documents also contain a copy of the report of the British government's Unemployment Assistance Board for 1937; and a series of statistical reports providing information on Britain's reserve stocks of food, fuel, and raw materials. Other documents comment on the prices of various agricultural products; a rise in the wages paid to British farmers; and shortages of raw materials, including aluminium, steel, and paper.
