Information: - The post-war consensus is a historian's model of political cooperation in post-war British political history, from the end of World War II in 1945 to the late 1970s and its repudiation by Conservative Margaret Thatcher. Majorities in both parties agreed upon it. The consensus tolerated or encouraged nationalization, strong labour unions, heavy regulation, high taxes, and a generous welfare state. The concept states that there was a widespread consensus that covered support for coherent package of policies that were developed in the 1930s and promised during the Second World War, focused on a mixed economy, Keynesianism, and a broad welfare state. In recent years the timing of the interpretation has been debated by historians, asking whether it had weakened and collapsed before Thatcherism arrived in 1979. There has also been debate as to whether a "postwar consensus" ever really existed. - Her Majesty's Government (HMG), commonly referred to as the UK government or British government, is the central government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. - Sir Richard Stafford Cripps (24 April 1889 21 April 1952) was a British Labour politician of the first half of the 20th century. - Her Majestys Exchequer or just the Exchequer is a term used in the civil service of the United Kingdom for the accounting process of central government and for the government's "current account" i.e. money held from taxation and other government revenues in the Consolidated Fund It can be found used in various financial documents including the latest departmental and agency annual accounts. - James Harold Wilson, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx, (11 March 191624 May 1995) was a British Labour Party politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1976. - Richard Austen Butler, Baron Butler of Saffron Walden (9 December 1902 8 March 1982), generally known as R. A. Butler and familiarly known from his initials as Rab, was a prominent British Conservative politician. "The Times" obituary called him "the creator of the modern educational system, the key-figure in the revival of post-war Conservatism, arguably the most successful chancellor since the war and unquestionably a Home Secretary of reforming zeal." He was one of his party's leaders in promoting the Post-war consensus through which the major parties largely agreed on the main points of domestic policy until the 1970s, sometimes known as "Butskellism" from an elision of his name with that of his Labour counterpart Hugh Gaitskell. - Hugh Todd Naylor Gaitskell, CBE, PC (9 April 1906 18 January 1963) was a British Labour politician who held Cabinet office in Clement Attlee's governments. He won bitter leadership battles to become the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition from 1955 until his death in 1963, when he was on the verge of becoming prime minister. He was loved and hated for his confrontational leadership and brutal frankness. He is best known as being founder of the right-wing revisionism in the Labour Party known as Gaitskellism. It was the Labour Party version of the Post-war consensus through which the major parties largely agreed on the main points of domestic and foreign policy until the 1970s. His Conservative Party counterpart was Rab Butler, so their common outlook was dubbed "Butskellism." - Gaitskellism was the ideology of a faction of the British Labour Party. It opposed many of the economic policies of the labour unions, especially regarding nationalization and controlling the economy for the benefit of unions. Theoretically, it was based on two policies that repudiated the Long-standing orthodox position of the Labour Party. First it repudiated the orthodoxy that socialism was identified with public ownership of the means of production, and that such ownership was essential to achieve all major socialist objectives. Second, it emphasized the goals of personal liberty, social welfare, and above all social equality. It downplayed loyalty to the labour movement as a central ethical goal, and argued that the new goals could be achieved if the government used appropriate fiscal and social policy measures within the context of a market-oriented mixed economy. Public ownership was not specifically rejected, but was seen as merely one of numerous useful devices. - The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom. The prime minister (informal abbreviation: PM) and Cabinet (consisting of all the most senior ministers, most of whom are government department heads) are collectively accountable for their policies and actions to the Monarch, to Parliament, to their political party and ultimately to the electorate. The office is one of the Great Offices of State. The , Theresa May, leader of the Conservative Party, was appointed by the Queen on 13 July 2016. - Clement Richard Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee, (3 January 1883 8 October 1967) was a British politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 to 1951 and the Leader of the Labour Party from 1935 to 1955. Attlee was the first person to hold the office of Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, serving under Winston Churchill in the wartime coalition government. He went on to lead the Labour Party to a landslide election victory in summer 1945 and to a narrow victory in 1950. He became the first Labour Prime Minister ever to serve a full five-year term, as well as the first to command a Labour majority in Parliament and remains the longest-ever serving Leader of the Labour Party. - The Chancellor and Under-Treasurer of Her Majesty's Exchequer, commonly known as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is a senior official within the Government of the United Kingdom and head of Her Majesty's Treasury. The office is a British Cabinet-level position. - The Secretary of State for Economic Affairs was briefly an office of Her Majesty 's government in the United Kingdom . It was established by Harold Wilson in October 1964 . Wilson had been impressed by the six - weeks experiment of a Minister for Economic Affairs in 1947 , an office occupied by Stafford Cripps before he was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer . The office was revived for eight months in 1950 and held by Hugh Gaitskell and , after Conservative victory in 1951 election , Churchill also appointed a Minister of Economic Affairs , Arthur Salter , in the period 1951 - 2 . Wilson 's advisers Patrick Blackett and Thomas Balogh advised him to recreate a new ministry , to be called the Department of Economic Affairs ( DEA ) , in order to drive through his economic plan . Wilson wanted to divide the functions of the Treasury in two , in part to reduce its power . The DEA , as it soon became known , would undertake long - term planning of the economy and industry , while the Treasury would determine short - term revenue raising and financial management . The DEA was therefore tasked with the preparation of a National Plan for the economy , which was published in September 1965 . Critics of Wilson 's approach , including Douglas Jay , suspected the main reason for the Department was to appease George Brown , Deputy Leader of the Labour Party . The story ( which was true ) that Brown finally accepted the job while riding in a taxi with Wilson tended to lead credence to this analysis . Under Brown the Department had a reasonable degree of influence . However , Brown was moved to the Foreign Office in August 1966 , and the two succeeding secretaries of state were not of his rank . The Treasury was able to claw back its power and the Department had become moribund long before it was wound up in 1969 .
