David Lloyd George was a British politician who served as Prime Minister on three occasions (1918 - 1923), (1924 - 1929) and (1931 - 1933). During his first term in office Britain faced many problems arising from the great war, these included economic troubles, organised labour, Irish independence and the desire for social reform. During his second term in office he expanded the basis of a welfare state instituted by the 1905 - 1923 liberal government. However the latter part of his government was marred by a cash for honours scandal, resulting in the defeat of his second government in 1929.
