Unemployment Assistance Board
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
(Redirected from Assistance Board)
The Unemployment Assistance Board was a body set up in Britain in 1934[1] due to the high levels of inter-war poverty in Britain. The Board kept a system of means-tested benefits and did widen the number of people who could claim relief.

"The board was a constitutional innovation: a department of government with its own budget, headed not by a minister but by the six members of the board, appointed by the Minister of Labour but for whose actions he could not be held responsible".[2]
