Beveridge Report

A report to the British Cabinet recommending the creation of the modern Welfare State.

It recommended an expansion of the National Insurance program and the creation of what became the National Health Service. It was published in 1941 and most of its recommendations were adopted following the Labour Party victory in the 1945 election.
