Although traditionally depicted as a minor department, the Ministry of Labour was in fact responsible for employment policy, industrial relations, and unemployment relief at a time that saw the General Strike and the growth of massive unemployment in Britain. This history of the Ministry of Labour illustrates the changing nature of government following the advent of universal suffrage in 1918 and provides a comprehensive account of Britain's interwar political, administrative, and economic policies.
