Synopsis

Labour Unrest in the House of Lords, 1919 A contemporary record of debates in February and March 1919 on industrial problems, postwar reconstruction, and the role of government and workers in shaping the economy. This edition captures a pivotal moment when leaders discuss wages, hours, unemployment, and the balance between capital and labor.

The discussions cover how Britain moved from war production to peacetime industry, the effort to stabilize prices and food, and the challenges of re‑establishing export markets. Readers will see different viewpoints on Bolshevism, profiteering, education for workers, and the responsibilities of both government and industry to maintain social order.

  • Accounts of proposed and ongoing reforms affecting hours, wages, and working conditions

  • Views on the causes of industrial unrest and proposed remedies

  • Analysis of domestic and international economic pressures after the war
