the soul of justice awoke from its slumbers. A few dons were asking who had benefitted from Butler’s Act. A young Cambridge economist, John Vaizey, turned himself into an expert on the economies of education. He found the ministry of education deficient in the most elementary statistics, and his work showed that Britain was spending a lower proportion of its national income on education than it did in the depths of the Depression in the thirties. Jean Floud showed that the successful children in secondary schools were those who had literate parents; David Glass and Richard Titmuss at LSE that the main beneficiaries of the Butler Act – even of the welfare state – were the middle classes.62
