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 the Transport.
This is to be divided into two sections.
(1)
A report on what has been happening concerning transport
since the outbreak of the war.
Things you
should consider include:
(a) What
restrictions were placed on car drivers in 1939?
(b) What
kind of problems did these restrictions cause for car drivers?
(c) How
did the blackout cause problems for people travelling by train?
(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) What
measures could be introduced to help car drivers?
(b) What
measures could be introduced to help train passengers travelling
at night?
