      the deviation between the values can be quantified.

      As mentioned, comparing AnaCredit with supervisory financial information helps
      ensure accounting information on loan portfolios that must be reported to AnaCredit
      is reported properly.

      determining (i) which AnaCredit observed agents correspond to which FINREP solo
      reporters, and (ii) the extent to which the perimeter of a FINREP solo reporter can be
      reconstructed from AnaCredit (given that some observed agents may have been

Three-day week, 50 years on: lessons from a previous Conservative government struggling with a cost of living crisis

Rising prices borne disproportionately by low-wage workers, particularly in a public sector squeezed by a “Tories in turmoil” UK government.

Key Points: 
  • Rising prices borne disproportionately by low-wage workers, particularly in a public sector squeezed by a “Tories in turmoil” UK government.
  • Not December 2023, in fact, but December 1973, as Britain prepared for the three-day working week that commenced on January 1.
  • The union was pushing for an improved pay offer from the miners’ employer, the state-owned National Coal Board (NCB).
  • Edward Heath’s Conservative government was determined to resist the miners’ claim.

What caused the crisis

  • The crisis had been caused by the big switch in Britain’s energy market from coal to oil.
  • Coal had been king as late as 1957, responsible for 80% of energy consumed in Britain.
  • Accompanied by the rise of natural gas and introduction of nuclear energy, the coal miners felt this transition was unjust.
  • This appealed to young miners, who were conscious of their vital social role in powering Britain’s homes and workplaces.
  • Their sense of injustice was piqued by friends and relatives earning more in easier factory jobs, assembling cars and consumer goods.
  • They first mobilised for a national strike in 1972, the first since 1926.
  • Remembered most for the mass blockade of Saltley fuel depot in Birmingham, this won the miners a big pay increase.

The present day

  • Beckett argued that it made visible two important elements of the future of work.
  • One was extended working time, with non-essential factories and offices running 12-hour shifts on their permitted days.
  • This meant they were employed normally during the three-day week, whereas there was enforced idleness among the greater clustering of men in non-essential industrial occupations.
  • Two further observations can be made, reflecting back on the three-day week being related to energy and the insecurity of essential workers.
  • The 1973 drama, while driven by the coal dispute, was aggravated by the external shock of Opec production controls and the five-fold oil price increase.
  • Our difficulties in 2023 are similarly multi-causal, but inflation and economic insecurity have been amplified, as in 1973, by oil and gas price hikes.
