People also got paid very little for the work they did. Their bosses
often cheated them. People had to do what the bosses said. The bosses
got away with it because there were no laws to protect the people.
Clement Attlee wanted to help the people. He moved into East London and
lived here for fourteen years. He became the Mayor of Stepney. Mayors
can makes laws and convince people to be fair and look after each other. |

| An NHS Nurse |
When Clement Attlee was PM, he created the National Health Service. Before
the NHS people had to pay to see a doctor or to go to hospital. Poor people
couldn’t afford to see a doctor, so they stayed sick, got worse or
died. He also created the National Insurance Service to help people who
were old or didn’t have a job. People like that could receive benefits. |
