Let denote the class of finite-dimensional Lie algebras L (over a fixed, but arbitrary, field F) all of whose maximal subalgebras have codimension 1 in L. In (2) Barnes proved that the solvable algebras in are precisely the supersolvable ones. The purpose of this paper is to extend this result and to give a characterisation of all of the algebras in . Throughout we shall place no restrictions on the underlying field of the Lie algebra.
