Increases in Workman's Compensation Benefits. £4,000,000. Rent Allowances. £5,000,000. Of the extra sum of £186,000,000 required to bring those scales up to a reasonable level £40,000,000 could be found by bringing employers' contributions to the same level as those of the workers. The rest we suggest should be raised by State taxation of the higher income groups. We fully appreciate that the suggestions we have made will add appreciably to the cost of the scheme, but we are emphatically of the opinion that any lower scales would not provide that freedom from physical want that it is the aim of the report to achieve. We believe that this standard of social security is possible on the basis of the effective employment of British technique and labour, and that the ways and means of achieving this must become one of the major preoccupations of the Government when it is studying post-war reconstruction. 23
