The League Exists:

1. To provide British Housewives with an effective voice in all matters concerning the welfare of themselves and their families.
2. To give information and advice, so that housewives may take action in matters that affect their interests.
3. To show that over-control by the State is not in the interests of a free and happy home life and the development of personality in accord with Christian tradition.
4. To encourage housewives to take their place as such, as M.Ps, and Local Government Councillors, and representatives on other administrative bodies.

Immediate Aims:

1. An ample supply of good food at a reasonable price, together with good houses and clothes in order to maintain a decent and self-respecting standard of living.
2. The abolition of rationing and coupons and extra-national control (being told what we are to eat, by other countries). These are a threat to the freedom of the home. Rising prices are a form of rationing without the use of coupons.
3. In the National Health Act, and all other such legislation, we are opposed to the removal from the individual of his right to contract out.

The League is Non-Party and Non-Sectarian, and no member shall attempt to use it for the purpose of forwarding the interests of any Party or Sect.

The League upholds the British Constitution; namely, the rule of the Queen, in and through Parliament, (the Lords Spiritual, Lords Temporal and the Commons).

IRENE LOVELOCK, 1945
