Abstract
In the previous chapter we focused upon how, from the ‘rediscovery of poverty’ in the mid-1960s and under pressure from the newly formed CPAG, Wilson’s Labour governments searched for a solution that was economically and politically agreeable to a party that we shall see in this chapter disagreed about the future of social security policy particularly whether it should involve more means-testing or not.
