Second Lubbers cabinet

Second Lubbers cabinet

The second Lubbers cabinet (1986-1989) was a continuation of the coalition of the right-wing political parties CDA and VVD. Its main aim was the continuation of the policy of cutting government spending. There was a large-scale revision of the welfare state and the public postal service was privatised. The cabinet fell due to a vote of the VVD faction in the parliament against the cut of travel costs.
