Herbert Hoover famously promised Americans "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage". When I was in the UK last year I saw on the television (probably something like a UKTV-History show) a British politician, probably Labour, of the post-World War II era promise something quite similar (maybe "a motorcar in every garage") about the same time the NHS was being deployed. I am thinking this was Herbert Morrison or Ernest Blevin or William Beveridge, but I cannot find the source. Does anyone more familiar with 20th century British politics and history than I have a clue as to what I am talking about? Any help on this would be appreciated.
