By the time he became Secretary of State for Social Services in June 1970, Sir Keith Joseph had a long-standing interest in child poverty, ‘problem families’ and social deprivation. This article traces the origins of Sir Keith’s concern with the ‘cycle of deprivation’ and examines the development of his thinking on the subject before 1970. It then discusses the immediate background to his keynote speech to the Pre-School Playgroups Association in June 1972. The final section examines why Sir Keith chose (or was obliged) to return to the theme of a putative ‘cycle of deprivation’ on several occasions between the Conservative defeat of February 1974 and his death in December 1994
