      • Squalor (Housing Conditions)
      • Disease (Illnesses e.g: TB, Scarlet Fever)

      • Worries over health and economic security were major concerns
    • Preventing Want:
      • Each employer had to pay a flat rate sum of money (stamp)
      • Benefits for sickness and unemployment were universal set at the poverty line
      • No 'means test'
      • Child allowances given
    • Disease - improved by NHS
    • Squalor - council houses - 80% resources dedicated to them
    • Idleness - free compulsory secondary education
    • Idleness - plenty of jobs available
    • Politics: Labour fully supported Conservatives - lukewarm Churchill - against wanted global security
