Plunkett's regulations
Plunkett's regulations refer to a set of rules established by the British government in the early 20th century, particularly during World War I. These regulations aimed to limit the production and distribution of certain goods to conserve resources and prioritize military needs. Named after Sir John Plunkett, they focused on ensuring fair distribution of essential products, preventing hoarding, and regulating prices. The broader goal was to support wartime efforts by managing resources effectively, balancing civilian and military demands during a period of national crisis.
