Reference: INF 1/73
Description:

Minutes of the meetings of the Executive Board. The file contains agenda, minutes and occasional papers of this board, which seemed to have oversight of the Ministry of Information. The board was smaller than the Policy Committee or the Principal Officers Committee. The Director General intended that the members should meet daily to discuss matters of policy and that the conclusions should have executive authority, to be put into effect after discussion, if necessary, by the Planning Committee.
