Reversing Direction: The 1953 Act

Michael R. Bonavia

Chapter 17 in The Nationalisation of British Transport, 1987, pp 151-162 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The general election of 23 February 1950, although again returning a Labour government, reduced its overall majority to seven, which obviously killed any further plans for the socialisation of industries. A period of uncertainty in the Ministry of Transport followed, which had an inhibiting effect upon the BTC and its Executives.
