The Labour party wanted to create a social welfare state by investing into the more depressed areas in Britain.
The labour party said they would put the community first and the sectional interests of private businesses after..
1. Production must be raised to the highest level. "except from war we have never used our the whole of our productive capacity". Living standards will raise if production does too.
2. High and constant purchasing power, maintained through good wages. Taxation less for lower income groups. also, prices of necessities will be controlled.
3. Planned investement in essential industries and on houses, schools, hospitals and civic centres will occupy a large part of capital expenditure.
"There must be no depressed areas in new britain"
" The nation needs a tremendous overhaul, a great programme of modernisation and re-equipment of its homes, its factories and machinery, its schools, its social services"
