Abstract
Education, the driving force behind ACE, had not figured at the top of Michael’s preoccupations while he was in charge of the Labour Party’s Research Department, although in Labour’s Plan for Plenty he stated that ‘of all the social services, education is by far and away the most important’. It did not stand out prominently, however, either in the Party’s election manifesto of 1950, the last with which he was directly concerned, or in the next manifesto of 1951, the first to appear after he left Transport House.
