People's Union for Economy

The People's Union for Economy (PUE) was a pressure group in the United Kingdom in the early 1920s which campaigned for retrenchment in public expenditure.

The PUE began as a parliamentary committee (founded in February 1921) with around sixty members of both Houses of Parliament.

It persuaded approximately 150 MPs to sign a demand for control of government spending.

[1] Lord Salisbury believed the PUE "had a good share in impelling the government towards economy".

[2] With the Middle Class Union it "helped create the atmosphere in which Christopher Addison was driven first from the Ministry of Health and then from office".
