72 The 1942 Beveridge Report (on ‘Social Insurances and Allied Services’) set out the agenda for the years to come. It declared the defeat of the ‘giants’ of ‘Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor, and Idleness’ as its aims, and it resulted – most prominently – in a system of social insurance that would cover every citizen, as Churchill put it, ‘from cradle to grave’. The new spirit ran contrary to the ideas of laisser faire which many had made responsible for the economic and political catastrophes of the 1920s and 1930s.
On the contrary, it assembled a number of ideological strands from different sources in order to suit the perceived circumstances, and – with the possible exception of the economic instrument – it rarely looked beyond the short or medium term. It can therefore be described as ‘managerial’, that is, pragmatic within the existing ideological and constitutional parameters. Despite the obvious importance of the constitutional question to the nature of the conflict, and although Westminster thought of Northern Ireland as a natural constituent of Ireland rather than an integral part of the United Kingdom, there was no strong inclination to take up the constitutional issue, or to formulate a clear ideological preference on whether the province should belong to a united Ireland or remain with the United Kingdom.
In fact, finding out how and in what way British strategic thought in relation to Northern Ireland has evolved in the course of the 1969–98 period is the main purpose of this study, and it will be pursued in the following chapters of this work.
