De Quay cabinet

De Quay (19 May 1959 - 24 July 1963) was the name given to a Dutch cabinet led by Jan de Quay with ministers from KVP, VVD, ARP and CHU. Cabinet formation was again difficult due to the growing friction between PvdA and KVP. Despite the fact that this was the first post-war cabinet with the right-wing VDD and without the socialist PvdA, it continued with the building up social security that was started after the war, made possible by the continually growing economy. The free Saturday was introduced (for civil servants, in 1961), as well as laws for education (mammoetwet), unemployment benefit (bijstandwet) and child benefit (kinderbijslagwet). Natural gas was discovered in Slochteren, which would later turn out to be one of the biggest gas reserves in the world and a major source of income
