Restrictions on education spending imposed by the previous government were removed, while local authorities were encouraged to increase the number of free secondary school places. In addition, an Education Act was passed which created an English secondary school system between the ages of 11–14. The restriction on maintenance allowances given by local authorities was removed, with the previous rule being that 20% of the expenditure was given as grant by the board to the local authorities, but this was raised to 50%. In addition, restrictions on grants for providing meals for children were removed. Spending on adult education was increased, with the grant-in-aid increased from £20,600 to £30,500, while a small expansion of central and secondary schools took place.

Roberts, the Minister of Pensions, stopped the making of "final awards," by instructing boards that awards should be "given for a year and until further instructions," which meant that every man under such awards had the right of appeal for an increase of pension if he got worse. In addition, pensions could now be transferred to a surviving parent of a dependent who had a pension, while Need Pensions were raised, with the minimum rate increased from 4s.2d. to 5s. a week and the basis for these need pensions increased to 25 shillings (ÂŁ1.25) a week for one individual and 35 shillings (ÂŁ1.75) a week for a married couple. The result of this was that every parent or dependent in receipt of a need pension, received an immediate increase of between 2s.6d (12.5p) to 5s (25p) a week.

The "gap" between periods of benefit under the unemployment insurance scheme was also abolished. In addition, eligibility for benefits was extended, while the household means-test for the long-term unemployed was removed, more people were made eligible for unemployment benefits, uncovenanted benefits (beyond those covered by insurance) were made a statutory right, and the duration of unemployment benefits was extended from 26 to 41 weeks. However, a "genuinely seeking work" clause, by which applicants had to prove that they were actively seeking work, was introduced, a move that the government saw as a means of preventing abuse but drew criticism from within the Labour movement.

object the resurfacing of the roads in the regions affected. Financial assistance was allocated towards the execution of Land
Drainage schemes to reduce unemployment in several areas while loans were granted to crofters to enable them to purchase the implements and seeds necessary for the cultivation of their holdings, and to take over stocks of sheep and other livestock. Wherever the rents of the holdings were considered to be too high they were reduced, a valuation having been undertaken by the Land Court in each case. Several hundreds of additional applicants were settled on the land, with the assistance of the funds of the Scottish Board. Structural additions were carried out at several agricultural colleges, and scholarships enabling them to receive instruction were granted to the sons and daughters of agricultural workers and others.

any case, its tenuous parliamentary position would have made radical moves near impossible. Hence, Labour policies such as nationalisation, the 'capital levy' taxation and public works programmes to alleviate unemployment were either played down or ignored altogether. However, to act 'respectably', as any other government would have, was a major component of the MacDonald electoral appeal and strategy. Indeed, some historians have seen, in this time, an electoral consensus that existed between MacDonald and his
Conservative counterpart Baldwin, to maintain the stability of the electoral system and preclude any radicalism that might have alienated voters or exacerbated crises such as unemployment. By 1929, voters felt able to trust Labour and thus they were voted back in again.

change, 60,000 elderly people, whose meagre savings had previously reduced their pension entitlement, received the full state pension. Eligibility for the state pension was also extended so that it covered 70% of the over-seventies, and 150,000 elderly people who had never received a pension before were now entitled to them. In addition, changes were made which allowed for pensions to be transferred to a surviving parent of a dependant who had a pension. An Old Age
Pensions Act was also passed, which guaranteed a weekly pension of ten shillings (50p) to people over the age of seventy who earned under 15 shillings (75p) a week.

the principal public health grant earning services (including maternity and child welfare, tuberculosis, and venereal disease) were removed. This was followed by a circular issued to local authorities to this effect and enabling them "to carry out more effectively their public health powers under the law." Child welfare and maternity services were extended, while ex-service patients who had been treated as "pauper lunatics" under former
Governments were removed from being treated in that way. As a result of this change, they were now paid for out of public funds.
