This collection of documents follows the same format as Pope and
Hoyle's British Economic Performance (1984), to provide a survey of
the main developments in social welfare. Students of economic and
social history and of social policy and administration are being
required to do more and more work with original documents, and this
collection is tailored to meet their needs. The primary sources are
presented in two sections, covering the periods 1885-c. 1940 and c.
1940 to 1985. During the former, ideas on, and the scope of,
welfare provision, broadened greatly. There was a sense of
progress. Developments though were piecemeal. There was no
conception of aWelfare State. The second period begins with the
changes associated with the assumption that Britain was
establishing a Welfare State. But the hopes of 1940 have not been
fulfilled, and there has been growing speculation about the value
of such an organisation of society. The extracts reflect these
changes. They are grouped under the headings to facilitate
reference. Students at all levels, especially A-level, first degree
and professional training courses, will find the book a valuable
resource. Materials included are drawn from minutes of evidence,
newspapers, political party publications and professional bodies
and groups.
