During the
Second World War the British government was
constantly monitoring the success of its various policies concerning
the Home Front. The government was also
aware of the possibility that it might be necessary to introduce
legislation to deal with any emerging problems.
It is December
1941. You have been asked to write a report on Compulsory
Billeting.
This is to be divided into two sections.
(1)
A report on what has been happening concerning compulsory
billeting since the outbreak of the war.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) What
was compulsory billeting?
(b) How
much money did a
billetor receive?
(c) What
kind of problems did billetors experience?
(2)
A report that includes proposals about the changes that you would
like to see in government policy. These proposals will then be discussed
and voted on by the rest of the class.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) Had
the government made a mistake making billeting compulsory?
(b) Should
the government increase the money paid to billetors?
(c) Should
billetors be told to provide food for mothers with infants?
