Attlee Ties Budget Cuts to Britain’s Economic Crisis
Prime Minister Attlee proposed a 280,000,000 pound cut from Britain's 1949-1950 budget with a 3,300,000,000 pound total. He imposed a 1 shilling prescription charge, added a small weekly social security tax, and trimmed administration and capital spending to curb inflation and bolster dollar imports. The plan follows the pound devaluation and aims to maintain welfare while reducing expenditures.
