Dissension in the House of Commons, 1924 and 1929-1931

The research aimed to analyse the voting behaviour of MPs (especially Labour) in the House of Commons during the Labour Governments of 1924 and 1929-1931. Every division (vote) was examined to determine levels of dissent within the Labour, Conservative and Liberal parliamentary parties in the period, with the primary focus on the Labour party. The data enable comparison of the levels of Labour dissent in the 1924 and 1929-1931 Labour Governments with those of post-war Labour Governments.
