Members of the new National Government in the Garden of 10 Downing Street London. Ramsay MacDonald, 1931. 'In Downing Street and other political circles, restlessness called for a demand for concerted action. The Socialist administration fell, to be followed by a ministry of all the talents - a coalition. They called it a national government, though whether it was more national than any other was a matter for discussion'. From "Time To Remember - A New Era", 1931 (Reel 1); documentary about the world in the early 1930s.
