As high unemployment continues Stanley Baldwin's Conservative Government is voted out and, in 1929, a Labour Government under Ramsay MacDonald is voted in again. National economies are called for with a reduction in unemployment benefit. The Government falls and in 1931 a coalition National Government is formed with Ramsay MacDonald as Prime Minister. The new 'Means Test' causes over 250,000 people to lose their unemployment benefit. A national petition against the Means Test is organised but when taken to London for presentation to the Government, the petition is confiscated by the police and fighting breaks out.
