Abstract

This chapter discusses economic policies, public spending (the May committee’s proposals) and the reaction to the fall of the Labour government. The economic problems in the wake of the Wall Street crash were debated in the Macmillan Committee on Finance and Industry on which Bevin sat. He signed both the main report submitted in 1931, (which offered little) and the minority report drafted by Keynes. The May Committee proposed drastic cuts in public spending including cuts in unemployment benefit. Both the TUC and the TGWU rejected these proposals as did many Labour MPs. However MacDonald, Thomas and Snowden supported the cuts and joined with the Tories to form a National Government in order to implement them. The Labour government fell and the number of its MP’s fell to 46 in the 1931 general election.

本章讨论了经济政策、公共支出(梅委员会的提案)以及对工党政府垮台的反应。华尔街崩盘后的经济问题在贝文所在的麦克米伦金融和工业委员会(Macmillan Committee on Finance and Industry)进行了辩论。他签署了1931年提交的主要报告(内容很少)和凯恩斯起草的少数派报告。五月委员会提议大幅削减公共开支,包括削减失业救济金。与许多工党议员一样,TUC和TGWU都拒绝了这些提议。然而,麦克唐纳、托马斯和斯诺登支持削减开支,并与托利党一起组建了一个国家政府来实施这些措施。1931年的大选中,工党政府垮台,其国会议员人数降至46人。
