In January 1935 Lloyd George announced a programme of economic reform, called "Lloyd George's New Deal" after the American [[New Deal]]. This [[John Maynard Keynes|Keynesian]] economic programme was essentially the same as that of 1929. MacDonald requested that he put his case before the Cabinet. In March, Lloyd George submitted a 100-page memorandum (published as ''Organizing Prosperity: A Scheme of National Reconstruction'')<ref>{{cite book|last=Lloyd George|first=David|title=Organizing Prosperity: A Scheme of National Reconstruction|year=1935|publisher=Ivor Nicholson and Watson|location=London}}</ref> that was cross-examined between April and June in ten meetings of the Cabinet's sub-committee; however, the programme did not find favour; two-thirds of Conservative MPs were against Lloyd George joining the National government, and some Cabinet members would have resigned if he had joined.<ref name="JonesInOppo"/>{{rp|238–239}}
