The [[Unemployment Insurance Act 1920]] extended [[national insurance]] to 11 million additional workers. This was considered to be a revolutionary measure, in that it extended unemployment insurance to almost the entire labour force, whereas only certain categories of workers had been covered before.<ref name="Davies1994p510"/> As a result of this legislation, roughly three-quarters of the British workforce were now covered by unemployment insurance.<ref>Charles Loch Mowat, ''Britain between the wars: 1918–1940'' (1955) pp. 45–46.</ref>
