This chapter considers the primary purpose of Remploy across the period, exploring the central policy negotiated between successive governments and the Remploy Board of Directors. The implications of this for the debate over the existence of a postwar consensus are then explored, by considering the extent to which the two main political parties shared a common view and approach to Remploy. The chapter demonstrates that Remploy’s function was initially contested, but a consensus eventually formed through a common approach to the company, based on economics and commercial performance, and a shared conception of the benefits of providing work. It then expands this analysis to consider the extent to which policy was reflected at the local factory level.
