| Administrative / biographical background: |
The original Minerals, Metals and Electrical Engineering (MME) Division of the Department of Trade and Industry (which was established in 1970) had responsibility for general policy on mineral development in the UK, questions of world demand and supply of non-ferrous metals, and for sponsorship of the non-ferrous metal and electrical industries. In June 1972, the Division also assumed responsibility for sponsorship of process plant industries, and its name changed to reflect those responsibilities. In 1974, the Division expanded to include sponsorship of UK mining houses, reclamation, dredging and anti-pollution equipment, mechanical handling, construction equipment, surface finishing machinery, and the promotion of industrial technologies, and low cost automation. |
