When the war started, the Chamberlain government continued a government containing only the Conservative Party, though it added such previously excluded figures as Winston Churchill.

After the failures in Norway and the roughly simultaneous invasion of France, a coalition government adding the Labor and Liberal Parties was formed; the Labor party was much the more important of the two. During the early years of the war there was relatively little conflict between the parties, but as British victory became more and more assured the parties fell out over postwar reconstruction. These disagreements limited the amount and extent of reconstruction legislation during the war. The war gave a temporary boost to declining industries, such as ship building and coal mining, as well as to newer industries such as aircraft construction.
Productivity often fell, especially in coal mining, in the industries already in decline in prewar years, as output increased. Some areas of the economy, such as railroads, saw a decline in the value of their capital equipment wore out and was not replaced in order to concentrate on producing munitions. The British auto companies seem to have benefited from new plants initially constructed in their role as subcontractors in aircraft production.

Overall the ratio of capital per employee fell, a bad sign for postwar economic growth. Though the number of women doing paid work increased, a large majority of women doing paid work were those who were already in the labor force before the war.
As labor agreements and legislation specifically said that all the contractural aspects of employment would revert to prewar standards after the end of hostilities and these standards were not favorable to gender equality it is not clear how much social change resulted from the increased employment of women during the war.
Generally there was not equal pay for the same job during the war, and in any case most women took jobs that were considered traditional "pink collar" jobs and that consequently paid less. For the majority of Bitons, who were of the working class, food rationing seems to have led to a better diet.
