A. Butler (1951-55) 1962-National Economic Development Councils created (NEDDY) Macmillan 1955-57 Economic Policies Selwyn Lloyd 1960-62 Demanded halt to increasing government spending Composed of 6 trade unionists, 6 industrialists, 2 independents and 3 Cabinet ministers Wages rise faster than productivity Thorneycroft 1957-58 Heathcoat-Amory 1958-60 Wanted to bring down inflation-incomes had risen by 75% 1961-purchase tax raised and bank rate raised to 7% 1959-economic recovery results in giveaway budget Thorneycroft resigns when Macmillan opposes this Pay Pause introduced Income tax cut in an election winning budget

Chancellor Policies Butler: 1951-55 Macmillan: 55-57 n/a Balance of payments crisis and huge defence commitments led to raising of the bank rate and import controls (£50 limit on currency that could be taken out of the country). Exports to the USA led to an improved situation-in 1953 income tax and purchase tax were cut. A boom and too many exports should have led to stop policies but instead cuts were made to purchase and income tax as there was a general election. This led to a pots and pans budget were taxes were introduced on kitchen utensils. Macmillan: 55-57 n/a Thorneycroft: 1957-58 Incomes had risen by 75%. Thorneycroft wanted to cut back on government spending to prevent inflation but resigned when Macmillan opposed this as he did not want more unemployment (which cuts would produce). Heathcoat Amory: 1958-60 An improvement in the economic situation in 1959 led to a ‘giveaway budget’. Income tax was cut for example. Selwyn Lloyd: 1960-62 In 1961 income and purchase tax were increased. A pay pause was also introduced. This was because wages were rising faster than productivity. In 1962 National Economic Development Councils (NEDDYS) were introduced (they were largely useless).
