LORD SANKEY AND LABOUR: THE
RADICALIZATION OF A CONSERVATIVE.
Labour History Review
(1994) 59(1):
pp.16-26.
Abstract:
Discusses reasons
behind the political evolution of Sir John Sankey (made baron 1929, viscount
1932) that began with his 1919 chairmanship of the royal commission convened
to study the possibility of government nationalization of the British mining
industry.
|
Sankey's work on the
Royal Commission to investigate the possibility of nationalisation of
mining enlightened him to the social divisions of postwar Britain.
Sankey's growing belief in a paternalistic, guided socialism, coupled with
alienation from former conservative allies because of his
pro-nationalization stance, coincided with an offer by the Labour Party in
1929 to serve as lord chancellor. |
