The Liberal welfare reforms (1906–1914) were acts of social legislation passed by the BritishLiberal Party after the 1906 General Election. It has been argued that this legislation shows the emergence of the modern welfare state in the UK. They shifted their outlook from a laissez-faire system to a more collectivist approach. The reforms demonstrate the split that had emerged within liberalism, between modern liberalism and classical liberalism, and a change in direction for the Liberal Party from laissez-faire, traditional liberalism to a party advocating a larger, more active government protecting the welfare of its citizens.
The Liberal welfare reforms took place after a Royal Commission reported on how the country's Poor Law provision should be altered. Two contrasting reports known as the Majority Report and the Minority Report were published, and as they differed so greatly the Liberals were able to ignore both reports and implement their own reforms. By implementing the reforms outside of the Poor Law the stigma attached to claiming relief was also removed.
