Abstract

[The outcome of the 1931 general election was a disaster for the party. The reconstruction of the Cabinet which followed the election reflected the greatly diminished importance of the Liberals in the new Parliament. Both Reading and Crewe retired from the Government; no Liberals replaced them, thus reducing the Liberals to an even smaller voice in the Cabinet. The Liberal Nationals, in contrast, were well rewarded. Simon was offered the Foreign Secretaryship, whilst Runciman became President of the Board of Trade.]
