Reference: EW 26
Title: Department of Economic Affairs: Industrial Policy Group: Registered Files (1-IG and 2-IG Series)
Description:

Files in the series include subjects such as: the Industrial Reorganisation Corporation (IRC); nationalised industries (including iron and steel); fuel and North Sea gas policy; industrial monopolies and mergers policy; the National Economic Development Council (NEDC); economic development committees (EDCs); the Investment Grants Steering Group; the Industrial Assessment Steering Group (IASG); and the Capenhurst Project (UNCLE) for a combined aluminium smelter and diffusion plant.
Date: 1964-1969
Arrangement:

This series loosely follows the original numerical sequence of the creating body. The files in the series are registered both alphabetically (confined to the 1-IG Series) and numerically. They include some which were taken over from the Industrial Division and which were originally opened between 1965 and 1968.

  • 1-IG Series:
  • 1965 files: pieces 1-2
  • 1966 files: pieces 3-6
  • 1967 files: pieces 7-13, 130
  • 1968 files: pieces 14-39, 54-64
  • 1969 files: pieces 40-53
  • 2-IG Series:
  • 1968 files: pieces 65-91
  • 1969 files: pieces 92-129

The prefixes 1-IG and 2-IG seem to have been used indiscriminately and so it is no longer possible to say what subjects were dealt with under each prefix.
