State Management Scheme

<h2 id="ethos">Ethos</h2>
<p>A central pillar of the scheme was the ethos of disinterested management: <a href="/facts/Public_house/1vDaSw0H">public house</a> managers had no incentive to sell liquor, which supported the aim of reducing drunkenness and its effects on the arms industry. From 1916 to 1919 the scheme had a "no treating" policy, forbidding the buying of <a href="/facts/Round_of_drinks/XulJjTeI">rounds of drinks</a>.
</p>

<h2 id="architecture">Architecture</h2>
<p>The scheme also involved the refurbishment of public houses, and the demolition and replacement of substandard premises. Most of the new premises were designed by the scheme's chief architect, <a href="/facts/Harry_Redfern/uxudLyA0">Harry Redfern</a> in his <a href="/facts/New_Model_Inn/g4nvSA02">New Model Inn</a> style, which influenced the design of public houses in the rest of the UK.
