Title: HM Treasury: Pay Group, Industrial Relations Division: Registered Files (IR prefix)
Description:

Records in this series comprise the Treasury's dealings with Civil Service trades unions and the management of industrial disputes as the efficiency scrutinies pursued by the Prime Minister's Efficiency Unit (led by Sir Derek Rayner) sought to eradicate what it perceived to be waste and inefficiency in the Civil Service, which was progressed by HM Treasury in the provision of reduced year on year resources to the Civil Service; inevitably culminating in job losses across the Civil Service estate. The records show the effect of these trends on industrial relations across the Civil Service estate.

The file prefix code 'IR' denotes the registry theme 'Industrial Relations'.
